NOTES
=====================
1. I'm using the latest Slackware release as base (currently 14.1).
2. PAM is needed to build several core packages of cinnamon. I have
tried to avoid this, but it seems to be inevitable.
3. I tried to avoid systemd on this repository, thus some packages
are still using older version. So far, it works.
4. I avoid changing/upgrading Slackware's glib packages which is
required by some packages. There *might* be some issues caused
by usage of older glib version. Let me know if i miss anything.
5. Some code in cinnamon packages are hardcoded to /usr/lib, so even
in x86_64, they will be installed in /usr/lib to avoid breakage.
6. I removed webkit-related screensaver in cinnamon-screensaver to avoid
building webkitgtk which is very time consuming. It still has the
default screensaver that is able to lock your desktop (only requires PAM).
