In this case, you are the target of my experiment, a tarball that doesn't
even need install to run on any Linux/x86. It doesn't add, remove, update
or change any lib or dependency on your system, you don't need to have
even libc to be able to run it. Could you test it on your system? The url
is: http://inno.bme.hu/~igor2/geda-test ; I really would like to hear real
users reporting whether it worked or not.
