The existing HOWTO is nice, and I know he worked hard on it
BUT....

What I think we need is a howto with a REALLY narrow scope... which,
ironically, would cover more people than any other group.

As a professional programmer, I just don't have the time, interest, or
inclination to fiddle with building the GNU tools. I have tried to
do this by following other folks best efforts and got something that was
95% functional. and in the end, I just downloaded Gavin's prebuilt
toolset for win98 from his site. THANKS GAVIN!!!!

I vote for a centrally hosted set of pre-built minimal tools for each platform.

The overall time saved would be huge...

Cheers,
