Re: no speech out of gnopernicus except welcome

[John covici <covici ccs covici com>]

Now this sounds like a good starting place -- what I am doing right
now as I write -- I have something called vicious-build-scripts and I
am building his default modules which look like most of them and
where a module fails to build I am using the gnome-2-2 branch and so
far that has worked.  Once that is done I will build the
accessability modules and see what happens.  

I will take a look at the jbuild as well to see if it has something
better.
