I did this just today on a newly built Ubuntu workstation, and it indeed
worked flawlessly!  It does require the full gcc and g++ packages to be
installed, as well as cvs, but I believe that's the only thing I needed to do
to finish it through.  Very nicely done Makefile, guys!

Hey, I can't remember how I made the BBS relay all outbound SMTP through my 
other (local) mail server.  I changed the sbbs.ini RelayHost settings to match
what works on the FreeBSD box, but it still seems to want to do MX lookups and
direct delivery.  This is a problem for my "local" domains, as they resolve to
an inaccessible external interface... I need to relay off to an internal IP
address.

Any thoughts?
