...this is what confuses me:  are we supposed to put freetype 2 and 
ftgl up in source form, or binaries?  Similar situation with pdp 
(dependent on gsl, libjpeg, libquicktime, etc but some are optional), 
and I wouldn't even hazard a guess at how you'll get yves to assemble 
and maintain the dependencies for pidip!  And how are "optional" 
libraries dealt with?  Fr'instance in Gem on osx, we just use 
quicktime;  on linux, there's many possible methods for images/films...
