err, disregard that part. i have made it a habbit of purging 
the /Files/Compile/Sources ever so often as over time it starts to eat drive 
space. but i see now that the linux recipe bundles up the compile environment 
into a unmanaged bundle and copies them into place in said dir when 
symlinkprogram is run.
