platform-independant build stuff

We need:

• a chapter for platform-independant build basics (build --from --prepare etc.).
• a chapter for platform-independant Tips and Tricks (for stuff currently in Building_OpenOffice.org#Tips and Tricks etc.).

Development/OpenOffice.org Building Guide/Building on Linux already contains too much platform-independant info.

help us develop this guide

Asking users to join the dev mailing list is too much hassle IMHO. We should motivate users to user the dicussion pages instead.
