Linux *guru*?  I just fake it most of the time. ;)

I've put a Linux build of r221 up on the Internet:
<http://sine.cluenet.org/~wgsilkie/pipmak-r221-linux-i686.tar.bz2>.  Try that
and, see if it works out-of-the-box (so reverse anything you did to make the
official release (0.2.7) work, otherwise we won't know if it works without
making a symlink to an openal .so file).
