Hmm, so within OM you guys don't prefer/advise using pre-built toolchains?
Any particular reason?

For me, it seems too tedious to setup the OM dev env to build single app
like the dialer or some other app like squid-cache. I think the toolchain is
very useful, especially for small apps, test programs or even OM apps, which
just needs a small personalized modification. Anyway, thats just my thought.

But that brings another question (which probably needs another thread),
where do we store/host the ported apps if we have some?
* Can we put it somewhere on downloads.openmoko.org
* Should we create another project on project.openmoko.org.
* Or do we put the responsibility on whoever ported it, to host the app.
