To achieve this, I think that would be great that we can compile
Hildon outside maemo SDK.
There already is a bug about this here: [1]

This will make more easy new contributions because It's not necessary
to install all the maemo SDK.

Indeed, I've been able to compile a hildon2 program in a normal linux
machine with a patched version of hildon2.

Also, libhildon is now in a gitorious repo [2] (seems to be
provisional, see [3] for more info), so I think that clone the hildon
repo and start the contributions is more easy than set up a new maemo
garage project ;)
