+Desura Packages Linux (complicated)
+--
+Unfortunately the initial release of SpeedDreams on Linux was done where the
+launch command was set to 'speeddreams' in the root of the install, this can 
+not be changed and therefore requires a script to work around it.
+
+The 'fix_rpath' patch should first be applied to the source tree, this works
+around a problem with the binaries being relocated.
+
+The 'build_desura_package.sh' takes a destination directory as an argument
+and will configure, compile and install SpeedDreams into that directory for 
+either 32 or 64bit architecture (depending on host).
+
+so from the root of the source tree
+--
+$ patch -p1 < fix_rpatch.patch
+$ build_desura_package.sh ../desura-target
+--
+
+The point the Desura client at that directory, make an MCF and upload. This
+needs to be done twice, once for 32bit and once for 64bit
