Hello guys.

So, graphics libraries were shipped as binaries months ago until userland
was released and we had the opportunity to have access to sources and build
libraries from them. We kept binaries and sources packages because the
first sources versions had a couple of building issues or some missing
files. So in order not to break ppl's work we kept them in the repo. Now, I
don't have time to test if everything is OK with the graphics libraries
generated from the userland package. If you guys have some apps and test
that these libraries are behaving correctly, we can drop the binaries. On
another hand we can keep them as a fallback solution.
