Essentially you should be able to cvs grab everything from
AbiSource:
cvs checkout abi expat zlib libpng
then you should end up with a tree like the following:
abi
abi/src
abi/src/...
expat/
zlib/
libpng/
from the directory you checked it out to.
Now cd into abi/src and type make.
This should automagically go back and compile
expat for you and then include it in the
final distribution. If you get makefile
errors (I know that there used to be some
because some directories in the dist
tree were missing and not created), then
log them to a file and drop them my way.
