How about we just bundle the jar in the source distribution? That's what
this src-dist prototype does.

The jar is typically much smaller than the source, so including the jar
has relatively little impact. Eg, io has a 20k jar (compressed), and
332k of source code. This ratio also makes the binary-only distribution
significantly smaller than the source distribution. For io, the source
distro is 155k (with jar), binary is 89k. For this reason, I wouldn't
like to give up the binary distribution.
