The official binary repo is waiting on deployment of autobuild on the
servers. Binary repositories in general can be set up and used by
whoever cares to, right now. (Using trunk is probably safer because 1.9
has no integrity checking for downloaded archives.)

Everything in base is done for this to work, but there are some things
that could be done to make it nicer. Unfortunately the main one is a big
hairy merge of a bitrotted branch, images-and-archives.

A more straightforward task (but perhaps just as big) is adding correct
license information to ports. Anything with an unknown license cannot be
distributed in binary form, nor can its dependents.
