Looking at this list, the next steps may be to add a “bin” output to
libtasn1 and perhaps libidn2, on the grounds that the main use of these
packages are their library, not their programs (the same cannot be said
of GnuTLS and Nettle.)

What do people think?

It would have to wait until the next core-updates but we can already
give it a spin anyway.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
