yes, they have apt-getable source debs, so this should be pretty painless. 
It's just that I expect that a) it's probably going to take many,many hours, 
so we don't need lots of people doing it and b) it's multiple packages, some 
of which I assume will have to be installed before others will compile. I 
assume dbuild is the way to go here, but I'm not entirely sure, I'll check 
into it and see if I can get us some debs made. It looks so cool in the 
screenshots, the panel can finally be hacked up to what may be my satisfaction 
:-)
