[juneau-lug] Rant ignore at will

Out of all the build systems i've ever seen Qt gets the BAD MOJO award

Reasons for getting this prodigious award?

Now if your stil reading you would think "geeze, what a waste of bandwidth
for him to paste all that in there".  I agree! However think about the
wasted CPU CYCLES my poor little g3-233 had to trudge through to compile
all that nonsense!~  With c++ to top it all off!

-Distribution includes everything including the kitchen sink 2.0

[zorton@uas-al-197-115 on ttyp2] [07:01am]
[/sw/src]du -s qt3-3.1.1-5/
73736   qt3-3.1.1-5

Heck I think I can remeber doing installs of Xfree that where smaller :)

Okay rant done, I had to vent.  I suppose it's all the more frustrating
when your load is upwards of 3.0 and has been for 5 hours.  Seeing my
little machine gleefully compile code for things I obviously don't use is
enough for me to open a fund called "Justin needs a G4 upgrade" care of
Justin.
