Sorta makes the -bin useless (except in very rare circumstances) then
doesn't it?

Perhaps there should be a www-client/mozilla-firefox-headers or something
that contains the .h files or whatever are needed for other dependant
programs. Or better still, just have the -bin version install those wherever
they need to be, so other things can compile.
