The freerunner images would be great, and its great that you can get  
it to build with the latest toolchain stuff, etc. I might build a  
quick script tonight to go from checkout to ipkg. Anything you can do  
to make it more system universal would rock! (I think I have hardcoded  
paths in a lot of places).

I would love to update the ipkg on the site also.

Thanks for everything scaredy :)
