What are you on about?  The binaries were up on Valve's servers for
several days, and lots of us downloaded them.  They exist, they were
just in an unusable pre-alpha state (when run, they fail connecting to
the servers).  Someone on the Phoronix boards posted a binary patch that
would allow it to bring up a single broken dialog.

I think you mean "slower" solution, that doesn't fix any of our problems
like in-game chat.  Native is always the better solution when you're
talking about something where performance is everything.
