It's a tricky issue. It something that's actually easier on other
platforms where plugins tend to be distributed individually, or in small
groups. Doing that with source would be a right pain, and primarily
distribuing linux plugins as binaries seems a bit wierd.
I guess it would make sense for the distributions to do that though, but
I've no idea how you'd break them up.
