But it was exactly cross-compiling I was thinking about. And it would
make sense to include everything needed for djdev (and perhaps other
packages, djcrs (sp?)?) in djlsr. It doesn't make sense to have to
download djdev when you can't use it (except you have to, to get the
headers).
Or is it so that djcrs (ot what its name is, the cross-package)
contains everything needed to build djcrs and djdev (so that package
is really djlsr)?
