In my particular case, one of the main problems was in svn not working
after libexpat update on Gentoo.. ;-)  This made it a bit difficult to
fetch the correct version.

At this point, we are indeed talking about quite bleeding edge stuff,
but I'm planning on releasing hostapd 0.6.1 at some point soonish and I
would hope that mainline Linux kernel will get enough stuff for at least
minimal AP functionality and at that point, I do not really want to
point people at an svn repository as the only means of getting a
required library..
