Don't a number of Linux systems ship without those tools unless added via
a separate package?  I know, I know - "it's that way in Linux" isn't
necessarily a compelling reason.

If this causes a problem, we could add BIND from pkgsrc as part of the
install.  I'd like to see more stuff done that way, really.
