Hmm, maybe it's too early for a new alpha? With some packages broken
since the update to gcc43 (like pdftk, compiling mplayer) it might
be a good idea to get at least the distro to compile completely again
before an alpha? (ok, mplayer isn't part of the distro, it's just
dear to me :-) So maybe sync out a gcc update that fixes these issues
and get everything to compile again before a new alpha?
