Sigh. It looked promising, but...

It will probably be easier for me to get some random cheap PC running
Ubuntu than to get a non-case-sensitive filesystem working on an
existing XP platform.
Any recommendations on cross tool packages for X86/X86-64 Ubuntu
installations? Or would splicing the linux-mips.org kernel tree under
the OpenWrt structure - but under Linux this time - still be the
shortest path?
