I went into the code and changed all references from childs to children. That seemed like a fairly safe assumption for me to make. The root member was another problem entirely. I finally settled on using the parent member as the root. I don't think that was correct, but that's not at issue yet. I got the code in the cl/src directory to build and then ran into trouble later on in the process with this error:

Currently, Scrollkeeper is being developed against libxml 1, and not
libxml 2. I don't know what the plans are, but I don't expect a move to
libxml until mid-summer, at the earliest (December at the latest).
