Now, be fair...  That's a completely-patched source tree that hasn't been

With this version, I'll be compressing the tarballs that go into the
Clean directory and I expect they'll be under 3M.

My no-patch version looks about like that, except that I store all of the
configure stuff in a separate script because I'm lazy.
