Don't know why this didn't occur to me before but this is exactly what
the Java team does for IBM's jdk/jre. IBM releases all micro releases
under a tarball of the same name so end users already have to rename it
before placing it in ${DISTDIR}. The only difference there is IBM's
files were already fetch restricted.
In any event, even though I'm not part of the QA team, thanks for
accepting an alternate solution.
