   * Can be 'eden' then, which is good for consistency
 * Is it better to have a larger download & include the pre-populated database with migrate=False? (& pre-populate=False)
 * Is it better to have a larger download & include the compiled app?
 * Remove all the Debug mode files? (Ext/GeoExt/OpenLayers/jQuery/UI/etc)
