Subversion has the same (poor) merging capabilities as CVS.
FYI, I use Subversion but merging in Subversion and CVS is not nearly as simple as with Perforce or Arch. I subscribe to the subversion dev mailing list and I think it's probably at least another 1-2 years before Subversion has merging capabiliies on par with Perforce, Arch,....
If you're interested in doing lots of merging with Subversion then you'll want to look at svnmerge (http://www.dellroad.org/svnmerge/index). I haven't used it but it gets good marks from the svn users mailing list.
Well, MontaVista at least seems to have a distribution that may (or may not) compete with Symbian and Microsoft offerings. It already has applications that were written using Trolltech's QTopia (which, I believe, was what was used for the Sharp Zaurus).
It was used in the Motorola A760 that is being marketed in Asia.
No doubt this could be argued forever. Personally I think the ``preferred optimizations'' argument is a poor one. There seems to be little, if any, real benefit to doing it. No doubt you feel different.

What's wrong with:
apt-get --build source <some-package>?
It will act just like 'apt-get install <some-package>' except that now it downloads the source and builds it.
If you're smart as use Debian:
apt-get install gnucash
done.
