In the case of PGP, I think they give you detailed information about
the compiler and library versions specifically so you can more easily
verify the binaries.
There was quite a long list of third party libraries and so forth for
the windows version if I recall. (A risk in itself I suppose). (This
was on www.pgpi.com I think because Stale was asking if anyone had a
particular library or tool so he could compile the last one.)
