	Exactly, if ./configure && make install works, then it's a
	large pre-assembled (self inflating) component. 

	Now what about loading your own TryeType fonts to
	X11, latex, and ghostscript -d faxhigh ?
	
	Personally I see more work that benefit, but those

	pre-assembled components and support docs.
