Gentoo won't, and people who compile from source will have the choice.

Instead, what do you think of a network transparency API (which could  
be disabled at compile time for extra-lightweightness) that people  
can write plugins (samba, subversion, cvs) for.  Currently I think  
only Konqueror has network transparency, so a gtk competitor might be  
good.
