There's a similar concern about installing Emacs modules from
ELPA--they have to be compiled and installed at some point.

I think the best option may be to split binaries off to a new repo:

1) add support for binary package dependencies to ELPA packages. This
would be something like a cond based on arch + OS, and would only look
at GNU ELPA binary packages.

2) set up a GNU ELPA autobuilt binaries repository to support (1) for
modules and binaries that are only meaningful in an Emacs context.

The alternatives I see are to a) support binaries *inside* the GNU ELPA,
which was not designed for it, or b) support binaries inside ELPA
packages, which were not designed for that either. Maybe there are others?
