I haven't yet managed to get a tuhupuu compiled with solid and all. I couldn't get solid
to build at all using the autoconf system. It configured fine, but then wouldnt make, as it
complained about loads of .Plo files in a folder called .deps not existing. It apparently compiled
correctly when using Chris's makefile, but I haven't yet confirmed that working in blender.
tired now, need sleep. will test tomorrow or day after. soon.

sorry.

Dan
