As an additional note, it has been suggested to not commit the

Opinions on this plan are also welcome.

Hi Frank,

hm - in the light of heavy-weight commits like the .sdf one, ain't
this just a micro-optimisation? Unless such stuff gets downloaded
automagically, it's a big nuisance in the already-full-of-nuisances
ooo build experience.
Or invent a nice solution that does auto-downloads, and switch a few
other huge external libs to that (like icu). ;)

Actually, I would love that.

Heiner
