This isn't a problem.  It would be nice if we could install the pre-compiled
binaries inside /tmp/portage, use them only for bootstrapping, and then throw
them away afterwards.  But if that's not possible, I guess we can create 2
packages: foo and foo-bin.  foo can then have foo-bin in its DEPEND, and can
potentially even overwrite foo-bin on merge.

Best Regards,
