To answer my own question, it just finished. There was no visual 
progress feedback at all. I think piping error output to /dev/null sped 
it up a ton. It only took about 30 seconds cpu time, and 5 minutes real 
time.

Upon successful completion, I ended up with exactly what I expected. An 
arx subdir containing the arx project. I guess it's only if you abort 
the process early that you end up with junk in the current directory. 
That does seem like a bug to me.

Ok. Now I build ArX 2 and play with it!
