I can't tell if you realize that Synth already does this.
well, not the first one because if a person used binary packages *only*
then Synth has nothing to do.

But there is definitely an option to use official FreeBSD packages
instead of building when they are "suitable" which includes identical
build options.

So anyway, this wish is already here.
