Really, it a couple of extra megabytes of disk space and a couple of extra minutes of compile
time.  Dig is not a stand alone component.  It depends on libisc, libdns, libisccfg, libirs, and
libbind9.  Thats most of the libraries we build.  It makes no sense to have a seperate source
package for dig.
