I am installing E17 from WIP right now on 4.0-RELEASE. Man its
downloading the whole whorld as dependencies. I mean GTK 1.2, QT 3.3,
... all sorts of stuff. I don't recall E17 depending on all these. Its
either the newer versions depnd on these or that the WIP port is
pulling in all these. Still going on after 4 hours.
