Porting Orbit to embedded Linux

In early 2002, Dimi Shahbaz and I wanted to run Orbit and Orbit-cpp on an embedded Linux. Building it was difficult. Although I haven't used it myself, I present here Dimi's last snapshot before he left for grad school. It's called gnome.tar.gz because it includes a port of glib, which Orbit is based on, and could be the basis for porting more of Gnome.

The build system's a bit arcane; blame me, not Dimi. The idea was you'd run bootstrap.sh once to configure the sources, then type 'make' to build them.
