Do they include the utilities as well as the library?  In any case, they 
do not currently include the utlities I mentioned since they are not 
released yet.  And it nonetheless stands; Linux users who don't know how 
to compile for themselves need to learn (or move back to Windows).

Cost of entry into module making is intentionally high to avoid a huge 
influx of bad modules from people with only a passing interest in the work.
