Gimmearos

Bash script for building AROS from the Subversion or GIT repository.

It does (interactively):
* Installing the prerequisites (currently only for Debian
  and similar (e.g.Ubuntu), Fedora and Arch Linux).
* Checkout of AROS source code from the SVN or GIT repo.
* Configuring
* Building

Since v1.11 there is an alternative gimmearos-v1.sh. It has separate
steps for configuring/building the toolchain and AROS. This allows
for fast rebuilds of AROS without the toolchain. As the name implies
it is for ABIv1 only.


Please, send improvements back to me (especially support for other Linuxes)
