=== Update coming soon - Conversion will be required ===
Clement d'Hamide and Pat Callahan are working on a new simplified script.
The new script will not try to do as much housekeeping. It will be easier to maintain.
However, the script does use a slightly different directory structure.  If you have used the script before, you will need to do a separate very short conversion step before running the script to account for these differences.  The conversion will:
* move source directories
* remove the build directory
* move fgdata out of the way so you won't have to download it again
* remove the install directory
* move fgdata back where it belongs.
