To build you just need gob and docbook. Then find where you have gnome
installed (for example /opt/gnome) then do

	./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/gnome
	make
	make install

Later you can use the options to have multi-thread support and some other
broken features (you said you want to hack the thing).

But after this you have balsa installed on your system.

For a start you can send patches to this list. The code style is the one
Stuart (look at file balsa/src/balsa-index.c) is using for now but I think
we need to define one (not necessary Stuart style) and take sometime
converting the code to this selected style.

Bye and have an Happy New Year.
