Apparently it's possible to pre-compile the various tools that V provides using v build-tools. This could allow us to properly package the compiler as an Arch package. This has several advantages:

Vieter CI makepkg runs could install the pre-compiled compiler instead of having to compile it themselves every time -> maybe run arch packages for every commit for testing?
It could allow vls to properly work, because it requires access to the V binary
I could start using my vlang fork as the default V on my system-> maybe do some scripting
