Wow ... so Mart's work on this is still up and running !
Excellent news (would never have bet so, after the huge changes I made
to the build system ; seems you made a really robust system, Mart,
thanks :-)

Now, jokes apart ... Krzysztof, would you be kind enough
to share your experience and write us a little (but detailed !)
HOWTO, in order we can add it to our Wiki ?

Would definitely be a great thing for making more robots developers
adopt Speed Dreams :-)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Jean-Philippe.
