no problem, i can deal with it as well :-)

as for the sizes: i guess i have pointed out in an earlier mail, that i 
personally think, that source-files should not contain (excessive) data. 
e.g. HRTFs (this was the main reason, wasn't it?) are _much_ better 
stored in soundfiles than in header-files. inappropriate use should not 
keep use from having features.

as for the pain: no one is obliged to subscribing to pd-cvs. those who 
want to stay up-to-date on a short notice, can use IRC for that (i guess 
there are some filtering options, where you can tell your client to just 
display the cia-bot messages)

finally, if you opt to receive pd-cvs in non-digest mode, you can select 
whether you want to receive emails of all topics, or only of topic 
"autobuild" or only of topic "CVS".
since i don't know of anybody using this feature (iirc, it was a feature 
request by tim), i don't know whether it actually works, so take care :-)
