Ok, you are right not to distribute any binaries. Your project 
has a precise scope and covers many different packages. It is 
coherent "as is".

Guys like me and Laeeth should organize around your work to 
deliver a smooth experience when possible. E.g. provide dlls 
through separate means for windows like Ponce suggested.

Nevertheless I feel we should be told upfront about the 
implications of using your package in the context that you can't 
and won't deliver dependencies like others do. By upfront I mean 
in an explicit way, limit as a warning.

Sincerely,
