ok I'm going to change it

The purpose of the prebuilt version is to provied an archive :
1 - to quickly test a version in a non intrusive way (no need to add 
anything)
2 - a way for people to test latest patches and validate the changes
3 - to be able to test and run the agent on OSes like HP-UX or AIX on 
which it's sometimes not easy to install by hand

Of course, the recommanded way is to install the distro's packages !

Walid.
