If Poul-Henning makes up a keyword for each type of error and places
the link in the error message, I'll write the documentation.

I would prefer we don't spend too much time until we know more
about what the language will look like and do in practice.

I've checked in the VCL compiler stuff, but I had no luck
getting the authgen.sh script to work on my FreeBSD-current
(even after substituting s/autoconf/autoconf259/ etc).

For now I resorted to checking in the FreeBSD style makefile that
drives the compilation, but we obviouly need to get this stuff
working.

Also, the vcl compiler needs sbufs, so we need to get that
worked out/in.

no, you need to install devel/gnu-autoconf etc. (as documented in the
wiki)

umm, as *should* have been documented in the wiki.

you need to install devel/gnu-autoconf, devel/gnu-automake and either
devel/gnu-libtool or (with the latest ports tree) devel/libtool15.

I'd actually prefer a COMPILING file in the source tree for that.

I hate downloading source code and then having to go somwhere else
to figure out what to do with it...

source tarballs, when we get around to releasing them, will contain a
ready-to-run configure script.
