Made this little graph about the situation:

http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/user_act.png

The plot is not accurate, it's rather to show the proportions.

I have absolutely no data about how many users use PCB from OS packages 
or how many users are actually reading the mailing list, so I've just put 
them on the left in parenthesis.

The rest of the labels are approximetly:
  - the actual number of unique visitors according to my server logs on the 
footprint generator CGI
  - the actual number of donwnloads on the parametric footprint and 
scripting videos
  - about the number of valid poll votes collected from the mailing list
  - the number of users who reportedly downloaded and compiled pcb-rnd.

The 1/x function is just a guess I pulled out of thin air.

I think a static compiled "unpack and run" package could be somewhere 
between effort 0.3 and 0.4 on that graph, but we'll see (if I manage to 
compile it).

Regards,

Igor2
