OK, I understand. Maybe it's a good idea to create additional jam
targets haiku-devel-image/install-haiku-devel with developer tools like
make, gcc (can we compile buildtools to be compatible with Oliver
Tappe's gcc 2.95.3?). I think that many people could be interested in.
In my opinion we have to have a possibility to develop Haiku on the
Haiku and make it more stable!
