If you really want to add this to portupgrade, it should be optional, 
though. Because someone might have a broken compiler or something and just 
wants to install a binary package quickly. In that case it should be 
possible to force a binary package installation regardless of what's inside 
the pkgtools.conf file. Don't you agree?
