Hi.

Is there something in the meantime ? Waited for the M5.
In the meantime i would like to use the *srcIncluded* piece instead of
CVS. And all "releng" stuff seems to be excluded from it. But hey, i could
also generate stuff on a local CVS checkout and package it together with
the *srcIncluded* stuff. As long as it is _significantly_ smaller in size.

I look for _generic_ instructions how to port Eclipse to any OS/WS/ARCH
combination.
All stuff i found that matches "porting" seems to be releated to port from
one Eclipse version to another.
