The makefiles are corrupt (at least on the Linux box I tried it on).  It 
doesn't even start compiling.  There's also a missing variable 
(client_active) referenced in 4 or 5 places in the code.

'edit -c' has been around for almost 2 years...  The core code looks 
pretty stagnant if it's that far behind.  You don't need paid 
development staff - I've worked on many projects that didn't have such 
staff.
