That's why I gave up on the idea of developing in Windows. It's much much
easier on Linux. In fact I'm using a distribution where *nothing* except
OpenOffice is installed as a binary. Even the basic tools got compiled
locally from binaries on a bootcd and then again with themself.
Assuming ClanLib is installed, an install in Linux consists of:

tar xzf pingus.tar.gz - extract the data
cd pingus
./configure - check system
make
make install

There's not really much skill required, an INSTALL for Linux/Unix needs
mostly to contain information on the dependencies, ClanLib/Hermes and where
to get them.
