  One catch is that a lot of commercial software is built with tools that
are just not easy to obtain.  Who knows whether there are easily-available
Coldfire development environments that could even build the A6 OS.  Source
isn't much use if you can't turn it into object.

  Furthermore, often these build processes need a certain amount of hand-
holding.  That's fine if the build team is small and everybody knows
everybody else but often the instructions are not easy to describe.
