And then you run the configure and build steps just like before. I've been considering putting up backported binaries of this.

AFIAK, the current plan is for beta sometime around the end of summer, which means release sometime near the end of the year. That's just a big guess today, though, it can be both sooner and much lataer depending on how things turn out. I would definitly not recommend basing a project schedule on it. //Magnus
