Hiho!

I've used the SCons system for compiling. Ok, needed some tweaks in SCons 
itself, but that is solved for quite some time.

The diff is here:

As I've written in a previous mail on this list, it's without gameengine, 
internationalization and without blenderplayer. Just a matter of getting 
these to compile. Also the six GHOST implementation files for the ZETA 
platform are missing in the diff.

The release is here since Sunday:
http://bebits.com/app/4235

I can make no promises as I am quite heavily loaded with my main work. 
That's why the port took quite some time. (Initial work started in autumn 
2003. Yes, no kidding. Ok, quite some changes to our libMESA driver 
implementation where required, too. )

But if things keep compileable quite easy, it should be no problem for me 
to maintain the port as long as no other contributor steps up.
