Our libraries are pretty chunky. I did an experiment, and the end- 
user checkpoint releases are:

PPC: 139 MB
Intel: 116 MB

I wrote a script that combines the two into a universal binary, and  
that comes out as:

Universal: 170 MB

Whether that script can or should be part of the build system, and  
when, is probably a question for chandler-dev at .
