I agree, if just for license clarity: The default Sage tarball should be 
all GPL (-compatible).

I was thinking of both. Build from source + internet => build extras, with 
a separate build target to just build the standard source. I don't see why 
we shouldn't be able to distribute that as binary tarball either, its 
perfectly legal to distribute a GPL and a EPL binary in the same .tar.bz as 
long as they don't link to each other. That's what Linux distributions do, 
after all. But if somebody feels strongly against it then we can also 
distribute the binary builds without extras.
