We have a live ebuild in Gentoo for Emacs. This means that the source is fetched from the SCM repository (Bazaar switch-over is near) and built on the user's system. An initial checkout time of nearly an hour without any action will definitely scare away new users. We are taking measures on our side to improve it, but I hope some will care.
