i have been trying to follow them.
for some reason i could not get qt to build. it kept breaking on one file.
when i unpacked it in c:\msys\1.0\qt instead of 
c:\msys\1.0\home\skenyon\qt-3.3.x-p8 it all worked.

it took all of yesterday to build qt - the link phase for libqt-mt takes 
hours on my dual core 2GHz laptop

i knew it was wrong however, because there was no mysql support 
configured in.

the wiki has been updated i see to add the (hopefully) correct options 
and today i'm building qt again.
[this just failed because it could not find mysql.h]

after that i think i have everything set up to compile myth.

so yes, i have been able to follow the instructions.
