The build environment is to allow folks lke Andrew to work during his lunch
hour. To be honest it's not going to take much to maintain and shouldn't be
an issue really. any just committed what's needed for the short term from
the linux box :)
We should try to be as friendly as possible to other os's while we're
starting as it'll lower the entry requirements. If someone wants to work on
the code but hasn't got access to beos that shouldn't really stop them
should it?
