I was more making the point that unless a Linux *user* uses one of the 
distro's which is compatable with the pre-compiled binaries, they will be 
building from source too. This would normally entail getting and building 
plib, SimGear and OpenAL first; a task which, generally, most Linux users are 
happy to do.

This, of course, leads to - "If Linux users are prepared to do X,Y and Z, 
surely Windows users could manage to install a little tar.gz handling program 
that comes with a pretty binary installer?"

There, you've made me say it now and I'm going to get shouted at ;-)
