Well, we only need host-tar and host-gzip when creating tarballs, not
extracting them, correct? So, we could very well envision the fact that
host-tar (and host-gzip) are only added to FOO_DOWNLOAD dependecies when
FOO_SITE_METHOD == git (and they are needed, of course), no?
(note: tar is ugly, because its configure step takes ~26s, while the
build is only ~4s).

I am ready to pay the price for reproducibility any time.
