Thank you Erdmut Pfeifer and Oliver Elphick for your prompt responses to my questions about make xconfig on debian-user! I couldn't have completed this document without your help.
Thanks to Sebastiaan for pointing out that almost everything could be done as a regular user when you're a member of the src group. Thanks to Robert Voigt for actually following the instructions to the letter and relaying his test results by identifying specific weaknesses in this document.
