Spiffy!

I have the frameworks in place, and fbc is in my path now (I can run it 
and get the command line help)

I am not sure how to know whether or not I need to add SDLmain.a to 
$(libpaths), but I am assuming that it I did, that would mean editing 
the Makefile, correct? Also, I am not sure where SDLmain.a is. A file 
search did not turn it up.

Same goes for $(FRAMEWORKS_PATH). Not sure how to know if I need it, and 
in this case I don't already see it in the Makefile. Should I add it?

When I run make right now I get complaints about libintl:

Ah, scattered relocations. Is that what you were talking about when 
arrays would start somewhere other than 0 but would not be reloacted 
correctly?

Cool. I will check it out and see what I can accomplish (assuming I can 
get past the compiling phase )

Hopefully since it is one of them "soft" quotas, they will be soft about 
enforcing it ;)

Just letting them know it exists, even with the disclaimer of 
unmergeability might get them excited about it.

No worries, take your time. :)
I will figure out what I can in the mean-time
