You conveniently ignored Ian's biggest con: it does not gave you a way
to get to the source as it is compiles without running a script. This is
bad, since it means you have to run an untrusted script in order to get
to the source. Imagine the unpack-rules doing something like
"sudo rm -rf /". Oops...
