What is the rationale behind bundling the entire gdb (which, in turn, bundled libiberty, bfd), the itcl and itk, etc. into one giant tarball? Why can't these independent trees remain independent? You can even offer them all on your download site(s), but someone, who already has itk installed and gdb downloaded need not download the entire 20Mb of insight-6.4.tar.bz2. All she needs is a 800Kb of gdbtk and libgui tarred together... No? Thanks, -mi
