I am sympathetic -- but in trying to build according to the instructions in the checkout, it quickly becomes clear that they are out of date

It is said by the upstream (see the other bug into which this was closed) that at least part of this is fixed, but as I cannot get a build, I cannot confirm of deny that assertion
