I tried to port owb for MiNT some weeks ago, and was blocked due to
missing functions in math library. I compiled the minimal needed libs
that it depends on (curl, sdl_gfx, libxml2, libpng).

There are also some issues with Perl usage to generate some source
files, and you must patch owb to not build shared libraries. And I
don't talk about possible problems with C++; should be OK if g++ 4.x
builds correct code.
