One thing that made me hesistate is this. These numbers are in 1k:

93 ./doc/html
147 ./doc
58 ./examples/wkb_reader
59 ./examples
21 ./jdbc/org/postgis
22 ./jdbc/org
5 ./jdbc/examples
30 ./jdbc
136 ./loader
164 ./regress
760 .

The package is 760k. I know GIS is a major feature, but that size had
me concerned.
