No, but I *have* been working on getting the matchbox pkgsrc up-to-date,
as the one in there currently is very old. These are built now (latest
versions only for i386 so far, although I have built older versions on
my Jornada directly), so I just need to work out how to get them
integrated.

The dependencies take far longer to build than matchbox does, it's not
really that big, GTK+ 2.0 and its dependencies are the real killer, you
*will* need some swap ;-) the 32MB in my 680 wasn't enough.
