Then... this question belongs in kyua-discuss, doesn't it? ;-P

I thought I had something in the Kyua wiki pages, but I guess not.
Meh, I'll have to write some other kind of documentation or
introductory article... documentation is currently not very good, I
agree.

What kind of text would help you most? A step-by-step tutorial maybe?
Big parts of the process may be tied to the build system you use
though, and I only know the BSD build systems and Automake/autoconf...
