This USE-flag strikes me as slightly nondescript:

Good point. It should be noted that app-arch/unrar (suggested
elsewhere in the thread) and some other packages for working with rar
achives also require accepting this license.
It seems that in

The p7zip package, if compiled with the "rar" USE flag, can handle
this, in case you have it already.

Searching for -bin does not help to find binary only packages. Two more
examples, which are binary only:

Searching for -bin mostly (if not always) implies that there would be a
possibility to compile it from source.

RAR is an unusual case, with both the "mirror" and "bindist" flags set in the
binary packages: how to:
1. find out if a package is binary before you install it (e.g. where on
app-arch/rar does it say it's a binary package)
2. inhibit their installation
3. get a list of the ones installed on a system
Any ideas about that are appreciated.
