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.
