Binary distribution
-------------------

Goals:

  * offer simple installation for peoples without computer skills
  * be multiplatform
  * be independent on local libraries (version and configuration diversity)


Because:
  
  * users are not computer specialist but astronomers
  * there is many of unix flavours (espetially linux distributions) 
  * there is great diversity in presence and configuration of required 
    libraries in many linux distributions
  * It is very difficult to maintain distribution packages for 
    Debian (stable, testing, unstable,..), Ubuntu (8.x,9.x,10.x..),
    Fedora..., Mandriva, ...., *BSD, ...
