The problem is that there are four directories in the package: bin, etc, 
include and share.  And no instructions as to what they are for, how 
dsss will find the files it needs etc.  And I don't know too much about 
linux, so I don't want to mess with this until I have a good idea what 
I'm supposed to do.

bud requires just the executable in your path somewhere, but when trying 
to build it with itself on linux, I get an error about it not being able 
to find -lphobos.  Which is a bit odd.  Does anyone know if the second 
step of building bud is really needed?  It seems to work after just 
building it with the makefile, but if it can't find phobos...
