You sorta have to dig around, and it's a little vague.  However, the
best place to get DJB's opinions is http://cr.yp.to/compatibility.html.

Anyway, I verified with him.  Basically, a binary distribution should be
the equivalent of downloading the software, uncompressing it, building
it w/out modification and then installing it.

Which means it would break Gentoo's layout scheme and force files to be
in /usr/local, as well as create /service, which breaks FHS, etc...
