I understand your concerns. My understanding of a source repository is 
that in case of a new distribution everything gets recompiled from 
scratch so it does not depend on the setup of some developers 
workstation, but on the setup of a central compile and build system.

Back in the Bering 1.2 times I ported haserl and pwcrypt back to glibc, 
as Nathan did not want to maintain it on that release. I was convinced 
as you are now, that the binaries should be kept separately from the web 
conten part. I placed the two executables in a .lwp package which was 
then placed in the LWP variable to be installed automagically when 
webconf was launched.
