+these are my chicken scratches of me trying to get the loginserver running
+
+Need libcryptopp.a  libEQEmuAuthCrypto.a to compile it
+these can be found at
+http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer/login_util/linux/
+
+Optionally can use subversion to pull down the whole "EQEmuLoginServer"
+`svn checkout http://projecteqemu.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/EQEmuServer/EQEmuLoginServer`
+but so far I just need the zip file with the two *.a files
