Indeed... For me the steps are:
1. Compile the core successfully (when we past the rpm - easy after
that)
2. Compile every module successfully (easy - some modules will compile
immediately, others not, but one by one and here you go :-))))
3. Patch the .scr for every module (most hardest part)
4. We are heroes if we reach this point :-))))

If SuSe/Novell guys help us to separate rpm from the core - yes it is
good solution..

My goal is just to make it work, because I know how many differences are
there ;-)))
