So, any takers?? The as-needed option is available in the optimization
menu of devel sorcery. If you're willing to help out and get us to more
recent versions of gcc, icu, libpng and xorg more quickly then please
help us test as-needed on as many spells as possible of what you have
installed.

For minimal testing, just switch the option on and continue updating
installed spells as usual, if you want to test some more rebuild some or
all spells on your system.
