Which reminds me.  Is it a good idea to make libc_g.a and libc_p.a 
available in separate zip archives, so people who need it could download 
it?  It seems that the alternative requires people to build the library 
themselves, which is not a trivial task (does it at all work without 
special tools that only DJ has installed?), and also to mess with 
lib/specs file whose syntax is undocumented.
