I have started on this path before and not been successful so far.  I 
have only downloaded tarballs so far.

I'm willing to try this but don't understand the steps yet.  I will read 
the doc's and see if I can get more out of them but I wouldn't mind some 
hints.  I believe this (learning by example) is exactly the conclusion 
reached by some about the Lily doc's.

I still use my machine when building even without the 'nice'.

I'm used to make knowing what it's already done by using timestamps.  I 
realize that it might be difficult for the creator of the make files to 
do that for something this complex and still know that all the 
components are correct.
