I've been curious about coova for sometime but haven't taken the time  
to look at it at all but since I have a need for something I decided  
to download the sources, unpack, configure, make check and finally  
make to compile it on my laptop.  The compilation was clean, no errors  
or warnings.  Before doing make install, I would probably check the  
install to see what goes where before making install.  It might be  
easy to make a port of this using the existing chilli port as a rough  
guide.  YMMV.

There seem to be users of coova on the list so I'm sure their  
observations would be far superior to mine.  All that I can do is  
confirm that it compiles without using the ports system that always  
gives me a warm, fuzzy and secure feeling when I use it.

Have a great weekend.

P.D. This gave me an interesting idea.  Be able to use my laptop as
      an coova AP to share a link but have no idea if it is even possible.
      I'll have to do some reading and some digging into the configuration
      or the "new" WLAN stuff with ath hal. It could be a great learning
      experience.
