ACK. But that still requires some refactoring of the whole build
process. See the thread on removing 3rdparty packages as a first start.
For old legacy platforms like Windows, prefix distros frameworks
like cygwin could be used.
Now, is it possible/interesting to have such a feature, that people can
download "fixes" (Microsoft would call them hotfixes) to Libreoffice?
To me it looks a bit ugly, but it could be just a question of replacing
the binaries/files that differ from last version. I don't know enough
about this to say if it's a Good Idea or a Bad Idea (tm)
Inherently unreliable. The only thing you *could* do is to compare the
generated files and only ship those which did. But I really doubt that
even the exact source code will produce bit-equal binaries. So you'd
need some check whether certain files/modules are functionally equavent
(sorting out which changed in in interface or semantics).
Ends up in turing-weight complexity ... ;-o
