Even I was a tarball fan - the reason I build RPMs is because of the double
benefit - all the configurability of compiling from tarballs, and all the
maintainability of an RPM installation.

440 kB with pgp, pop3 and imap support - quite a small program, when compared
with 2 MB of pine. :-) I don't think the increase is 200 kB per version - are
your stripping your final compiled binary?
