The reason it requires SunWorks 5.0 with the patches is because
every other compiler we tried (gcc, earlier versions of SunWorks)
had problems dealing with the Standard Template Library that
various parts of the CDSA code uses.

When the gcc STL issue gets resolved the linux port should not
be too difficult. The details of the gcc issues are fuzzy, and they
could of even been fixed in the latest version of gcc. The port was
done back in November.

The code on foobar.com does not have confirmation check-off form.
But I also do not have the cylink code there. I'll have to look into
the possibilities of making the cylink code available with out the
check off form.
