Re:

My feeling is that some variation on the last option would be the best.  Users
would always download the "official release" from ANL, and then download the
modified source files, prebuilt libraries and prebuilt executables from the
platform developer.

If you support multiple platforms, you are still left with the problem of having to track down people and/or sources (or whatever the distribution package ends up containing). I think that Chips comments concerning "One Stop Shopping" is very valid . . . it really doesn't matter who is in charge of various platforms if everything in finally made available from where you get your "official release"
from.
