If it's just the relevant source files cherry piced and compiled in to
the exe, I'm all for it. :)

I'd prefer not to have a whole physics lib added to the source just
for a teapot and a couple of potential future games.  R5 is renowned
for being compact and minimalist in terms of libs etc.  I think it
would be overkill.  Nice tea pot though.

I don't really think a physics engine is appropriate for an operating
system.  I personally wouldn't even want one part of the standard
build if it was included.

It's certainly a really nice download for people to pull from bebits /
haikuware though, or be packaged in a distro.
