The whole point of 'Bundles' is so that you don't have to install a bunch of modules by hand. Creating 3 or 4 bundles that all have to be installed just so that you can build and test parrot is really defeating the purpose. There should be just one bundle if any at all. > installation of the necessary modules should be checked at configure > time, and an informative message should be given to the user if there > are missing dependencies. That's just another configure step but it had better be run first... -J --
