<!-- Editors: It is highly unlikely that the buildsize (disk space used) will
     be less than the figure shown above. Unless you have installed *all* the
     delegate dependencies, you will see a smaller buildsize, but what is
     currently listed above is the space one would require if all the
     dependencies available in the book are installed.

     Marked as 'typical' because nobody builds ALL the optional extras [ken]

     [bdubbs] I do; at least the internal ones.  I still got only 141 MB.

     [pierre 2017-02-14, v7.0.4-8]. I did too, and got 184 MB. I added the
     all the corresponding switches to configure, that may make a difference.
     All 6733 tests passed.

     Saved the "full" 450MB as a comment - feel free to update this iff you
     do build all dependencies, it's probably a lot bigger now.

     [bdubbs] Just removed it.  I don't think it adds anything.

     [ken] Comparing 7.0.10-27 to 7.0.10-57 on the same machine: for -27 my
     timings and space matched the book (well, make check was marginally
     faster on this machine), but for -57 the compiled source, installed
     files and extra space for make check were all much smaller.

     Also, please look over the output from the configure command for any
     additional dependencies that need to be listed, as ImageMagick is
     constantly adding additional features and dependencies. Or diff the
     configure script against the previous version.

     For those of us who touch this infrequently:
     DPS/dpsXclient is from apple so not relevant to linux builds
     GVC is part of Graphviz and documented in the explanations
     LQR is Liquid Rescale  -->
