249	move bundled dependencies out of revision control history and make them optional	zooko	warner	"As per [http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2007-December/000290.html this tahoe-dev discussion], it would be nice to move the bundled dependencies out of revision control history and make them optional.

With the bundled dependencies being optional, then people who downloaded the ""normal"" tarball would be getting a fat tarball with all easy-installable dependencies bundled in so that the ""Desert Island Build"" would work.  The ""Desert Island Build"" is that someone installs all of the Manual Dependencies, downloads the allmydata-tahoe source tarball, gets on an airplane where they don't have internet access, and then tries to build and install Tahoe.

People who checked out the source with a revision control tool or who downloaded the ""minimal"" tarball would get only Tahoe-specific source code.
