And here is our choices:

1) Direct the user to download via SVN the required directory.
This sucks because the user may not have SVN installed on his
machine. Additionally, there are other software directories in
the downloaded directory that will get built and installed
unless you give alternate commands.

This almost rules out this choice. Which leaves us with:

2) Host the tarball ourselves.

Which means an Editor must download via SVN, and remove 5
directories from the root of the tree. This leaves a created
tarball of:

-rw-r--r--   1 rml install  650636 Jan  8 20:22 akode-svn.tar.gz

650 KB. Then, you must run an obscure command of

"make -f Makefile.cvs" to create the autotools using the special
KDE method. Once you run this command and tar up the files you
have:

-rw-r--r--   1 rml install 1421912 Jan  8 20:24 ready2go.tar.gz

More than twice the size, but ready to run CMMI.

Which tarball should we host?
