Yeah - I looked at that option, but as I only have a G4 Powerbook at
present I'd need to cross compile the intel version, and I couldn't get
that to work at all!

The method I gave, while a little hacky, does work well and is pretty
straightforward. It's also probably the only way that would be practical
to build and install the whole tarball in a vaguely normal way (assuming
there weren't other issues preventing the build completing).
