Umm, John, we already have a precedent here..  We've got a uuencoded ibcs2 
'Hello world' binary.

# ls -l ~src/share/examples/ibcs2/
total 45
 1 drwxr-xr-x   3 peter  peter    512 Sep 10  1996 ./
 1 drwxr-xr-x  29 peter  peter   1024 Jan 30 11:06 ../
 1 drwxr-xr-x   2 peter  peter    512 May 30  1997 CVS/
 1 -rw-r--r--   1 peter  peter    133 Oct 24  1994 README
41 -rw-r--r--   1 peter  peter  41804 Oct 24  1994 hello.uu

This isn't anything like the compat_* .tar.gz's though.  I personally feel 
that a statically linked 'yes, it worked' SVR4 ELF binary would be useful.

Cheers,
-Peter
