So mathematically speaking, we have refactored the equasion so that
under a different set of constants, a whole section of variables have
be made redundant.
That will also allow with the fakedroot.sh script, the ability to get
around the installation problems that I have with windows binaries that
I want to run under linux via wine.
They can be installed under a fakedroot with a faked path all all thier
own. This will also allow for a faked cross compiler that thinks it is
native. hehe!! that might allow for a much faster porting of gnu
software to windows.
