I don't think that skype should provide said instructions.

Hmm.  All I'm saying is adding a note in the Makefile wouldn't hurt any.
Put your Beware Of Dog warnings in there, but I think that extra info in
this case is not a bad thing.  I subscribe to and follow the -emulation
list but that does not mean I read every single message, especially when
the threads are long and not immediately applicable to me.  I'm just saying
that throwing in extra information into the Makefile of -fc6 would do more
good than harm.
