For most of us with fast internet access this is very small, but we
should in general case not forget that there exist people on earth with
slow, instable connection in third world countries. I can remember  at
least one message from south africa to this list about one year ago. But
of course 18.8 Mb is not really much, and I think most people in third
world will not be concerned with electronics.

Sure, parallel build is fine, and options --disable-foo not only for
docs and examples, but also gattrib, gnetlist, symbols would be great.

Is there a plan to fix file collision with gnetman? Currently gEDA
includes and installs gnetman symbols, which gnetman from sourceforge
installs also. So smart packages mantainers have to take care for this
for gEDA 1.4.3.

Best regards
