A quick build for MATE (1.8.1) desktop

[bdheeman]

Pre-requisite, in addition to the 05-devel.xzm, we need to download, build, install or activate the following:

automake >=1.12
icon-naming-utils >= 0.8.90
libwnck >= 2.30.0
vala >= 0.22.0

The above mentioned versions worked for me, but YMMV

It's still at an ALPHA stage, not ready for production use

Many $PKGNAM.info, slack-desc and, or doinst.sh files are missing or need to be created/copied from exiting/working versions of respective packages.

Many a Porteus customization and, or patches are also still pending. I'm, indeed, a bit lazy in in finding and, or applying patches.

Please download and try this quick build, if you have enough of time, disk space and, or machine hours to build, test, update and, or add missing pieces.

A feedback of yours, though howsoever negative might be, shall highly be appreciated.
