Thanks for the quick response! I'll check it out and I'll let you know if I
have any other questions.

Robert,
Good question, but my answer is better: I don't remember.
There are 3 possible explanations:
1) I wasn't thinking when I wrote that tutorial. For such a glaring
thing, it's unlikely I wasn't thinking *that* much (though possible).
2) The way buildrump.sh *was* run from rumprun-posix was not compatible
with carrying out the tutorial
3) The way buildrump.sh *is* run from rumprun-posix is not compatible
with carrying out the tutorial
If you think that a separate buildrump.sh is not necessary -- and I'm
not saying you are wrong -- the best thing is to try it out. The worst
that can happen is that you have to rm -rf the repo and start from scratch.
If you can complete the tutorial, you can edit the wiki page and remove
the separate buildrump.sh bit. If not, you can edit the wiki and add a
short explanation of why you need both. Everyone wins ;)
