It's basically because I need 1 GIS function for a python app I wrote 
and I couldn't figure out how to do it with the python lib for the 
program, the SWIG bindings were incomplete. So I just hit the pre-built 
exe from a command line call in python, but then there was a bug which 
was fixed in the cvs specifically for me so I need to build a new copy.

It works I'm just trying to figure out how to drop 40MB of extra fat 
when my inital program is only 13 MB, seems like a lot of extra weight.

Thanks,
Alex
