Maybe moving the UNIX stuff to the top of the developers readme would be
best, so the UNIX installer can see all their stuff first. I'm not sure how
hard it is to compile on UNIX, but on Windows, it takes a lot of time and
effort, to get all the dependancies.  It also takes the kind of skill that
only a programmer would have. After they have got through the pain of
compiling etc. then they are probably the kind of person that would be
useful developing Pingus - and having them directed at other parts of the
developer readme might be beneficial for the project.

Or then again maybe not,
