but of course they don't need to recompiled constantly, e.g. like a weekly 
kdelibs release shortly before the freeze is of course overkill. OTOH the 
current mixture of arch dependent and independent packages forces us to 
recompile everything as quickly as possible to avoid uninstallable 
packages and often the next day new packages appear which depend on the 
very latest library versions...
