The build system was a nightmare on wheels.  Only took 40 minutes or so 
on the machine I was using at the time though.  It uses something like 
3 or 4 different C compilers, at least 2 different assemblers and some 
wild batch files. :)

I'm going to have to slap another box together and see if I can't build 
a set of disks again....
