That was no offense! Just a statement: "Kosher", in the sense,  
applied to me and my OpenSuSE. Not in the sense of how this script is  
implemented. I'm perfectly aware, that OpenSuSE is not officially  
supported. I just try to satisfy my bosses.

Ok. Anyway, it's not easy to write all these autoconfigure scripts.  
Wouldn't want to do it.

Thanks. Yes, the bootstrap produces quite some more output.
And it compiles up until the same place as the release version:

I know. Again this was never meant as an offense!

I'm ready to help out as much as I can.

I could do that.

That is more difficult.

As long as I have your help, I could deal with that.
I could offer you an account on this machine.
