Grass&Solaris:Solution????

[James Darrell McCauley]

as a general trend (especially with linux users, and now
with solaris users), I see people more and more wanting binary versions.

What's wrong with getting the source code and compiling it?
Do people generally find the process too cumbersome or daunting?

I'm genuinely curious. 

- The compilation process has gotten much easier over the past
  4 or 5 years - most things (everything?) in the src/ dir
  compiles without a hitch/warning. Is the process too difficult? 
  Are there too many steps involved?
  
- With increased speeds of workstations,
  compilation time has decreased by at least 50% (probably more,
  but then grass has increased in size). Is time a problem?
  
- With the availability of gcc, compiler availability is
  *not* a problem. 
  
- There's a step-by-step document on "how-to" for those 
  unfamiliar with the process. Is the documentation difficult 
  to understand?

Are there suggestions for making the process easier?
