Pretty much. I have a snapshot of a library that I use just to build the
plugin, but I don't ship it in the install because I don't ship code that
isn't based on released/supported libraries and I don't have sufficient
confidence in that situation. Just don't build the plugin.

Your xmltooling and opensaml are probably not current. You can't build the
SP without the svn versions of both of those. You may need unreleased
xml-security-c also. You really should stick with the released versions of
the SP and dependencies unless you have some need for unreleased features.

You don't have a FCGI library installed. Again, just don't build that part.

Yes, obviously.
