Yeah, we do want to improve our docs here. We've been talking about a

It isn't there really. Again, we intend to improve our documentation here
the same way as above. Here's a key URL to look at for now:

Go to the "Downloading and installation" page at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/getstart.html. We encourage you to try a
