Ok, so now we can run anything we want on the Reader, and it's easy. Yay!

Now... how would we go about compiling for it?

Building an a cross-compiler isn't too hard, but maybe someone's already done the deed? (I'm still pissed off why a linux cross-compiler has to be "built." Why can't compilers just compile whatever you want them to? Microsoft's VC++ doesn't care if it outputs x86, x86-64, or even Itanium.)

Also, where do I find all the headers (which specify framebuffer ioctls, for example)?
