well, I sorta do just want to "get it all" in one fell swoop. disk space is 
cheap & plentiful, and if one "has it all" then one can be fooling around 
someplace w/o connectivity (on a plane for instance) and not have to worry if 
one "has everything"....

perhaps there should be so that one can just snarf over the entire repository 
and then just build everything with one or a few commands (cf. mozilla's build 
regime).

So, Paul, is there a way to, in eclipse, suck down HBX and all dependencies in 
one fell swoop? Elsewise, is there a list of dependencies?
