I don't want to step on the person's toes who wrote the original instructions, so does anyone have a problem if I make this change:

I tested it, and it works properly with error handling.

Alright, I'm just going to commit this change since I've gotta get going. If anyone is strongly opposed to the change, just revert it. It's not that big a deal to me, but it seems like the natural thing to do to avoid all the cd'ing.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

Hopefully I'll do the Thunderbird update some time this week, but I will have a lot more time come Friday.
I already pulled this tarball and checked it out a little while ago. I think it'll build the same way as in the book. Can't recall right now.
