Ok, I've built it and everything went well...

This is the insane thing I'm trying to do now :) It's been building qt3-libs's 
unixmake2.cpp for hours....

btw, now xclock and amsn work well. Thank you very much for the suggestions! 

Now I have a screwed up keymap (like the one on my poor PowerBook) because 
XFree86 wants
    Option     "Protocol"      "wskbd"
    Option     "Device"        "/dev/wskbd0"
Is there anything I can do about it?
