Hi,

After succesfully installing 1.5.2 I ran into a very troubling
situation with its software. It appears that many of the pre-compiled
binaries in "packages/1.5/pmax" are missing, especially those that
are dependencies of others already built. Furthermore, some of the
default software part of the installation package, e.g.  groff,
are very ancient versions (in groff case 1.10, 1996).

I understand that compiling all the software is a long and tedious
task, for which there may not be enough personnel to do it. So
perhaps we could organize a volunteering task force, in which
subscribers to the list would compile a few packages, e.g. 1-5. Is
that something possible?
