Let alone could a user be expected to figure out how to build this thing (see http://www.e-tobi.net/blog/2008/12/02/vdr-plugin-survey-2008 -results-part-2 for its importance and level of difficulty), and yet here is the walkthrough to the best of my knowledge (YMMV, not replayed yet to fully exclude even potential minor inaccuracies) for you to build the final package(s).
