Why isn't this the default?

If you search back through email history you'd find that it used to be the default. But was changed as doing complete was: rarely what end users wanted, used up gobs of disk space, and made the build take a really long time (there might be other reasons but I don't remember ATM).

Makes sense. Building libraries on demand would probably be the ultimate solution.. Could the default also build the one -s variant? -- Olaf
