Yes, of course.

This is exactly what I have found out now; I had a mixture of blocks on my
system from different sources, most came with Marcus' build script. Cleaning
up there makes things a lot clearer to me.

Just an estimation, maybe it is less after the last changes, but I am using
a relative slow C2D machine, 1.6 GHz. For normal usage fast enough due to
the SSD, but of course number crunching (compiling, "SDRing") takes longer
:) Should be 30-45 minutes even with -j2.
