We've moved away from non-versioned tar files. We're also moving rapidly
away from gzipped tar files.
My question was really to Suhaib or Harold. I didn't know if they saw
any value in maintaining a separate installation tree using the "old
method", with tgz files. If they did then we wouldn't be able to
abrogate the xfree directory on sourceware.
