Would it be a good idea reduce the overall build complexity by  
splitting each agent into its own install package?  For example,  
libextractor is only used by the pkgmetagetta module, which most  
people probably don't care about anyway.

We are probably going to have optional modules (agents + UI) in the  
future anyway.  We have talked about this in the past but perhaps we  
need to do something about it.  IF this is a good idea, the first  
thing I would do is make pkgmetagetta optional.  Optional modules is  
also seems like a good way to introduce most new functionality since  
the new code will probably be less stable than the base code.
