Right, but I mean in the build tree, I don't get a pnee binary file.  At 
least I didn't but dunno on this build since I can't get through the doc 
building. ;-)

I'm not sure about this because I'm not a DD but I believe the sources 
have to be in the package to meet Debian Free Software Guidelines?

Not sure.  The old package was just copying libxnee.a to /usr/lib/  Is 
libxnee no longer required?

This can certainly be done on the packaging side as well.  xnee source

have to know what (if anything) needs to be shared between the two.
