read only binary archive doesn't allow installing new ports

Description
I have macports installed on multiple computers. 2 computers have write access to the binary archive path, so I can prebuild packages that I'm installing multiple times. However; on occasion I have a package I might only want to install on one computer and don't want to hassle with building it for the binary archive. When I try to install it on the computer with read-only access to the archive, it gives up when it can't write the archive. What would be the better option would be to continue and give a warning when it can't write the archive.

Maybe not quite what you were looking for, but this problem can no longer occur after r77511 because there is no longer an archive directory separate from the port images.
It would be best to override cleaning as well: the user can correct the permissions issue and then run unarchive without having to rebuild the package.
