	This was my first computer, so it's pretty old.  :)

	I was kind of hoping to avoid having to install gcc since I've gone so 
many years without it.  Well, that and I'm not really sure how much I 
care about erlang on this system yet.  :)

	otp won't even begin to build without gnu make, it seems.  I think 
I've got a recent perl on that machine, but I don't know for sure.

	I've got it built on my Macs, NetBSD machines, and Solaris 8 box, 
though.  That should get me going.
