I'm still not quite sure why we can't have our cake and eat it to on
this - provide a non-TeXmacs installer for people who don't need it,
prefer to install their own TeXmacs, or think it's too big, and provide
a larger "kitchen sink" installer for the more typical user. If I
understand correctly, the final exe install files can be hosted just on
the savannah servers, correct Tim? Pounding your server to fine power
is definitely NOT one of the goals ;-).
