Yes, but there are too many kinds of Unix for us to reasonably
pre-compile for all of them.  Unix folks are very used to running
"configure; make" -- but they need to have all the necessary source
files.

Reading this now, though, I don't remember what the issue was.  The
source distributions can be assembled at the same time that the regular
VM's are, and uploaded in the same way.
