I'm way behind (again) on email but I would like to point out that this is a
big problem with the way HP has always distributed SW.  EVERYTHING (licensed)
is bundled onto 1 or 2 tapes.  In the PC world, each thing is on it's own CD.
If and when we ever get source code, i would like to suggest that we move
towards the separate products and separate media approach.  Modular vs.
monolithic is better if we do not have a large support organization to coordinate
things.
