: If I where to decide, I'd say bundle T1lib with the microwindows source
: for two reasons:
: 
:  * Downloading separate products gets messy - and risk running into
:    version conflicts when one product is updated more often than the
:    other.
:  * We may have to modify T1lib to make it more memory friendly, which
:    may take a while before being accepted into the T1lib core, if at
:    all.  Better have a 'microT1lib' than a reference to a version and
:    a patch file...

I'm going to suggest in the beginning that the microwindows ftp
site carry known working source tarballs of jpeg and T1lib, which
are (soon) used with Microwindows.  This will allow folks
to get everything they need (one stop shopping?).

If and when the libraries are hacked to support Microwindows
(hopefully this won't be the case), then we should include them,
or patches for them, with the Microwindows source.

Comments?

Greg
