A 'lot' is a bit of an exageration. It seems our binary packages are quite popular, please check the download stats (apprently they have been fixed as of late on SF :)). So getting our packagers to include them would be a great step forward. Also, providing a separate package for the folks that insist to build from source (under Support Files), would solve the problem for most of the other users. > >What do we need in there?
