The guide itself is also updated. So...

Fresh from Spot's bedroom - Spot's Porting for Dummies 2.1.3

WHY SHOULD I READ THIS? I CAN'T CODE!

And look at me now... 600+ uploads to http://os4depot.net compiling

you can do it too! You'll jump up and down screaming when you manage to
compile your first SDL app, I did! To my defence I have to say that I had
to figure out a lot of the process the hard way! :P

*** HOT NEWS! BLAZING FAST PORTING WITH THE NEW SCRIPTS + ALIASES! ***
