Gentoo doesn't "package" anything, really. They use the original source
files and using sort of a definition or script file, it compiles it on the spot
based on your configuration. Because of that, with Gentoo you will have
the original ATI-provided installer. I'm not exactly sure where Gentoo
downloads it from, maybe directly from ATI's site, or maybe somewhere else.
