Dear Michael,

Well we differentiate between the different imlib_loaders. ;-)

If you prefer to package them as imlib2_loaders-xxx.rpm. This can also
be done. But remember that a normal user needs only the 3 basic
loaders (jpeg, png argb) to run DR17.

The principle of splitting is not to download the whole thing. What do
you propose as an alternative?
