Hopefully I can get all the build system bugs fixed upstream, and then by the time 1.7 stable is released, packaging should be easy for anyone who wants it. All the dependencies compile fine, so can be packaged now.

Dependencies (versions I used):
FreeImage (3130) - http://freeimage.sourceforge.net/
OIS (1.2.0) - http://sourceforge.net/projects/wgois/
zziplib (0.13.58) - http://zziplib.sourceforge.net/
