> Implement BOB::untar using libarchive and zlib
> Implement -v echoing of building stuff
> Implement -static
> Implement test for architecture
> Implement 64bit/32bit distinction
> Implement more packages
> Implement checksumming using libssl
> Implement BOB::getindirectly with checksummming using libssl

> xgap: fix tests for X11
> xgap: copy scripts out (between compiles)

> Compile and finish web page
> cpscripts and workspace should execute regardless
> do not download xgap

> better say for what component we are checking prerequisites
> better say that we check for -m32
> carat needs gmp? add a check --> no, but why does it not work on Debian64?

Under sudo carat cannot create link?
Add line end in warning about polymakeinterface

Future:

> linboxing --> not for the time being.
test with fedora
union of emerge hints
collect emerge hints
look into spaces in filenames
homology package?
compile linboxing
look through LoadAllPackages to find further packages to compile
implement optional components
test in chroot prison?
pargap???
exclude some components   -x
selfupdate
Implement test for C++ compiler
More tests?
optional libsingular
