Is there a practical reason why they are not in the same repo? It 
seems only logical to me that you'd grab everything at once since 
since they are always in sync anyways...

Thanks for the help guys! I will give it another spin when I have 
an opportunity again.

Meanwhile would be good to add a little note to the makefiles 
warning about this. Perhaps at the end of a build it could issue 
this a warning saying: "Note you need to build Phobos as well!"
