=2E.. with as many optional drivers / libraries added / removed from =

Make check should always be available (it basically runs 'all.dem'=
=20
through the default terminal non-interactively.  See demo/Makefile.am=
=20
for details).

Successful completion of 'all.dem' is a minimal requirement,=20
particularly for the default build.   Any bug that crashes a demo has=
 to=20
be reported at SF.net immediately, and had better be flagged=20
"release_critical".   Then have at least a quick go over the main=
=20
documentation (check that navigation generally works, ...), and read =
all=20
the READMEs and other texts that will become part of a binary=20
installation package at least once.
