	Well, 

	After a fun-filled evening where I tried to completely install afresh
	the patch, I have now encountered most of the issues seen by the
	rest of you. I believe the makefile changes *may* result in the problems
	with the compiling (first encountered with the codegenerator.moc.cpp
	file). Furthermore, the library problem is caused in part by an infinite loop
	in uml.cpp, whereby if the code gen library isnt found, it will simply plow
	ahead anyways, and this results in a core dump/crash. The fix isnt optimal,
	but if you keep clicking now, you can get the tool to run (Ill try to implement
	a better fix later; I just want it to run from a new user config without problems
	right now).

	I think its possible to install the code by following these steps:

	0. check out fresh cvs copy
	1. get the new patch with fixes from 
                      http://nvo.gsfc.nasa.gov/Umbrello/codegenhack3.patch
	2. apply patch
	3. make -f Makefile.cvs; configure --prefix=/blah/blah
	4. cd umbrello; make; make install 

	This *should* work. IF you apply the patch over an existing copy of Umbrello
	then you *should* 'make clean; make distclean' before proceeding to step 3.

	The new patch has undone the changes to the umbrello/Makefile.am and the 
	umbrello/umbrello/Makefile.am. Like I have said before, Im not sure if these changes
	result in compile time errors as a result of bad dep files, but I dont get them with
	the changes reversed.
