Reinstantiation of the KDK

[Frank Nichols]

While it may be more flexible to let each user install the components they 
want to have, I personnally would be very interested in a "whole package" 
approach that ensured I have a complete/working IDE when installed - even if 
it means I have components I may never use. HD is cheap today, I would rather 
waste a few 100MB instead of wasting time trying to figure out what I need 
and don't need. 

I know this is a lazy approach, but I am interested in using the IDE not in 
understanding the details of various dependencies.

I use this approach in almost everything - when I install SuSE I choose the 
"Everything" option. Then I can ignore or remove things later when I see I 
don't need them. This approach is not for everyone I am sure, just for us 
lazy types with more HD space than we really need.

I am willing to help if I can.
