Actually this is all getting kind of silly.  The reason that ChucK is 
hard to compile is that unlike almost all other pieces of software on 
Linux, it doesn't use autoconf (or similar) to provide a configure 
script that first checks for dependencies.  I'd be willing to set that 
up for ChucK, but only if I was sure that it'd go into the official 
version.  Otherwise it's not worth wasting the time.
