I would not try to get 2.7/trunk going yet - I will make some nice
instructions sometime here first. For right now, go for 2.6 - the build
is perhaps simpler, and certainly better known by me. (And, my
instructions are actually accurate, aside from the fact you need to
change the svn checkout command to get the ABI-2-6-0-STABLE branch.)
