They should be attached as text/plain, let's see if that gets it past
the various spam filters.

I think the only dependency is mc depending on glib.  For the record I
compile them in this order (after the LFS stage) - glib, mc, libjpeg,
libpng, freetype.  I actually interleave parts of EFL with that build
order, but could build them all before EFL.  I was using a just in time
policy of what to compile when, as a quick and dirty dependency
documentation.  More of BLFS is supported by EFL as optional
dependencies, I just don't think I will need them.

Midnight commander I added cos I often use that as my IDE.  Works well
over ssh.  I remember a few from the old mailing list wanted that to.
Glib may or may not be needed for my final app, but is needed for mc.
EFL includes support for it, but it's optional.  I'll just see if it
makes anything easier later.

This is Australia, she'll be right mate.  B-)

At any rate, the smaller the system, the better the automation, and the
better documented it is, the happier we all will be.
