Yes, I should have added that you will need an R5000-modified box and
the desire to compile from source also ;-) . The R5000 patch will work
with .21-fixes (tested against svn 17225). As for trunk I run 16789
(the last one before the qt4 merge) and it works fine there also. I was
using v7 of the patch and switched to v11 a couple of days ago.
