Just lots and lots of spare time.

I'm reasonably happy with it; although it seemed a bit flaky at first it
seems to have settled down now*.

The only compilation problem I had was with the multimedia/arts stuff.
One particular class (I forget which) had a mixed in a couple  of
virtual base classes which gcc didn't like ("recompile all code with
-fhuge-objects"). Since I had pretty much no intention of doing so (and
spending another weekend waiting for it all to build) I just
dropped that class. I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this though.
