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.
