  Yes, we've had issues with the builds for the OLPC, which is why I
plan to setup automated builds. I'll also be building mine with the
Geode optimized tool chain.

  Yes, there are already a few rpms and binary tarballs snapshots on
http://www.getgnash.org. Once the release goes out in the next few days,
I'll finish getting the automated build stuff going on the build farm.
We also need to add the version of the gstreamer-ffmpeg plugin so that
can be installed to make YouTube work. Gstreamer is finicky about
versions, and minor differences can make video not work.
