The svn repository is a little messy, I was working from the wrong place and ended up checking in things that were still work in progress. I've gotten a lot of complaints about it.
The library is built with LeoCAD itself only.

Ok, nice, thanks :)
It would be better if you didn't tag the head revision ;)

That's not the issue :)
The point is to comply with the Debian Free Software Guidelines: we have to
keep the source in Debian, and build everything from source. No precompiled
binaries, even if they're freely redistributable :)
I'll check if the pieces library license is acceptable; and whether it is
buildable with free tools. I'll report back if any new issue arises.
Thank you for your collaboration :)
