But you can't actually get those anywhere, can you?  Anybody who wants them has 
to build from the code first. I'm not sure it currently makes sense to build 
"out of tree" but at some point that's got to become an objective, whether for 
IoTivity itself or for someone who repackages it (Linux distribution, for 
example)... to have an "sdk like" setup for building stuff.
