Hello Joost,

I put in some really overzealous things to please IANA, but I should
remove that I suppose.

Ah.  CMake is an "external contribution" that I didn't check.  Clearly
I should.  I always use plain configure/make.

This is handled with the command on the webpage (formally, I'm not
allowed to include non-official port numbers that build automatically)
so you would do

sed -i -e 's/^#error/#warning/' nonstd.h

I'm doing my build work on Debian, so you should be really close.
Perhaps try plain configure/make if the above doesn't help.

This is _very_ young software, okay?  I've seen it do great things
with peer2peer connectivity, but only in very limited tests.  Any
feedback on the software (including this) is warmly welcomed.


Thanks for trying,
