The idea was to add it to FEATURES.  Also, it would only prelink the
specific package that you just installed, so it would not take quite so
long.  I still see tons of problems with that, especially in the form of
prelinking libraries.  A newer version of a library would not only
require itself to be prelinked, but also any application which referred
to that library.  This is a slippery slope and is easily dealt with in
binary distributions, but quite a bit harder to accomplish on a
source-based distribution.
