The trouble with binary installers is that they tend to be heavily compressed to begin with, which obscures whatever similarities a diff tool might find - in much the same way that compressing a file prevents other compression tools from doing a very good job on it. I'll add binary tarballs of some open-source software to my suite, but it'd be nice if I had some files that weren't x86 executables, too. :)
