Hey, i know, monday is for everyone, not only me, i'm very sorry of
sounded harsh, was not the intention.. no bad blood, we are a team, at
least we are trying to be a team.. :))

No, if that worked for you, better to work out the bloddy details
together, i'll try to look at the your changes, and solve the little
issues we have..

That was the idea ( something similiar is done in jakarta projects with
ant ), a build.properties file, that stores all the lib paths, and it's
not strored directly in cvs as itself, but a s a sample, something like
build.properties.sample, anyone should adjust this file to his needs,
and lately

This are religion wars, i have no problem by trying to fullfill any tabs
requeriment, if this decision is done at least democratically amongst
committers, what others think?

Ok, we'll try to develop a consensus about the build process first let
deal with this detail in tha process..

Ouch, you are right, i did forget this, i'll add the necessary want bits
to the "binary_snapshot" target, just copying them from want itself.. :)

Totally agreed, if you dont mind, i'll try to the changes this morning,
and we can test them tomorrow or this evening..

I advice you to use cygwin's ssh, as it makes all the terminal programns
and things unnecesary, this will lower the barrier another bit more,
AFAIK almost everyone is using cygwin for this tasks...
