Agreed. I wasn't really paying attention to the layout of the KDE
binaries and libraries when I wrote that. Heck, I don't even use KDE,
it was just an example pulled out of a hat. Disregard the archive
doubling thing, then. The rest still stands.

I think this has been the argument all along, actually. People are
trying to figure out why "a tiny binary in a large package filled with
binaries" is more important than "a tiny function in a single binary".

FWIW, you're probably right. Then again, I'm not the maintainer, and I
don't want to be, so my opinion is just that -- opinion. I don't envy
Brian in the slightest. pcmcia-cs is a pain. :)
