I would rather the extra files be distributed with the bundle for new
users.  That is the target audience for the nightly builds.  I'm still
seeing a lot of help requests by users about missing libraries and
documentation and their configuration.  I would rather error on the side
of caution in this regard.  I know it's a nuisance for us kicad experts
to have to download these large files for testing  but I really want the
installation of kicad to be as simple as possible for the new user.  Us
old pros will just have to suck it up for now.
