Sorry, I was asked to get all the graphics in there so Matthew could start
working with them. I don't know why the files are the size they are, this
is the way they were delivered by the graphic designer. The gifs are all
around 1 or 2 KB but you are right the SVG's are like 500 KB.

I noticed this too. I think I proposed this months ago, but i'll do it
again...I think the repository should be split like this:
kepler/dev
kepler/docs
All of the stuff you need to compile/run kepler would be in dev. All
the extraneous stuff would be in docs. Then you could do a 'cvs co
kepler/dev' and be a happy camper.
