If the binary installers are available (and easy to find), not such a
big deal -- this is teh case with Christoph's repository for Windows,
for instance.

Russell, have you been following the thread I started on the pythonmac
list? We really need a way to deal better with binaries on the Mac,
including dependency handling.

Note that supposedly the "wheel" format is coming (soon?), and after
that support for binary wheels by pip.

Of course, none of that helps right now...
