OK, will do. I don't expect anything special, but you never know.

BTW, is it just me or does anyone else think that Building Chandler 
notes are a bit too terse? I don't think I normally need to have my hand 
held all the way just to run make -- it's more that the page feels not 
so much like a standard INSTALL file, but reading notes written to 
oneself by somebody who already knows Chandler well. The section "some 
notes about external and internal" is a good example of what I mean.

More importantly, the "BuildingChandler" page mentions the option of 
running "make world" with  "DEBUG=1", but there isn't a word about what 
that might mean until the next section, "top makefile targets" (even 
though it's not a target), where it says "Use DEBUG=1 for debug 
versions". But remembering discussion on this list about a month ago, I 
had the impression that running the debug version is discouraged, 
because it's so slow. This should really be stated clearly, because I 
think someone who wants to work on a project would be more likely to 
think a debug version is necessary for the development.

Also, "how to run" information is duplicated on "BuildingChandler" and 
"RunningChandlerFromSourceReleases" pages. I think only the former is 
necessary, since you have to build Chandler in order to run "from 
source", no?
