PS: just for the record, i would find it useful if there were a tarball of librdf that does not contain raptor and rasqal

I've been wondering about doing that.  Does anyone else rely on it?
The consequence would be you'd need to build & install raptor and
rasqal first, and they'd have to be compatible versions.  The
redland all-in-one tarball guarantees there are compatible ones
around.

To the extent that "compatible" versions of raptor pop out on a different schedule, I'd prefer one tarball per library, assume the user/builder can read and comprehend directions regarding the dependencies, and ensure some level of sanity checks into autoconf for those who fail. Those who want the convenience of the all-in-one may ultimately be downstream consumers of binary packages anyway. (Okay, that last bit is wild speculation on my part)
