I've been trying to build the sources since ~625B, but unfortunately each 
time I come up against a problem during the tools build in the bootstrap 
process. The file tools/source/stream/stream.cxx gives a parse error on lines 
358 and 375, gcc said "Parse error before '('" ). I just wonder if it is 
something to do with the version of gcc - the web site does say that it is 
built with an older version of gcc than that which is in Sid.

I would certainly be interested in helping with a packaging project, or at 
least talking about it :-)
