[Bryan Donlan <bdonlan@xxxxxxxxx>]

The source code will need a good bit of patching before it can be used,
looks like. There are a number of compiler failures (likely due to newer
versions of G++ being more strict about header includes and the like),
and currently stepmania looks for its data directories in the directory
containing its binary.

The latter needs a real solution before any packaging happens - should
shared data directories be in /usr/share? Then users wouldn't be able to
install songs and themes. There'll need to be a way to merge the system-
wide directories with the per-user ones; and also a place to put the
per-user ones (a dotfile works, but it's a non-obvious place to go
looking for the songs directory). Any ideas on where the per-user
directories ought to go?
