Blech.  Well hopefully the set of packages that both need multibuild and
and have bad build environments is small. =3D(

Nope.  If I remember right (I don't have my chart handy) binary-foo
calls install/PACKAGE so it can happen in all the usual places.  Because

the need for a post-install-hook now that I think about it)...
