Yes, PowerPlant is required to build ChromiVNC.  I can tell you, it
made the job a great deal easier!

Yes, the .5 file is a project description (equivalent to a Makefile)
which is CodeWarrior specific.  I am unsure whether other development
tools are able to read the CodeWarrior .5 file, but I am reasonably
sure that ProjectBuilder (Apple's environment for MacOS X) is not.
