I've not fully thought about it, but my gut feeling is that if the
overhead of installing (maybe after building) dependencies is
considered so significant (which I'm not so sure about yet), then we
should revisit the basic policy.  Including the dependencies in our
own tar ball seems to me to be a dangerously incomplete solution.
