I know. I use it. But is Joe Average who just wants to get some music
set going to have it? Perhaps if the choice is to stick with tarballs,
a link should be placed on the page to the 7-zip site (or some other
appropriate site). But I am rather opposed (not that I have any say in
the matter) to making people download extra programs, no matter how
useful.
Woah, this got out of hand. :)
Just to completely clarify, my comment about making a tarball available
was aimed at people working on the docs, but who are not comfortable
compiling the docs from CVS. I think there are three people in this
category, and if this would be useful for them, I'll supply it in
whatever format they want. These are not intended for normal users.
