it's explained on the download page and in the README file. It's just 
that in the INSTALL file it says you just have to ./configure and make 
for the tarball release...
after correcting the INSTALL file, the only thing that can be done more, 
is to add a pop-up windows on the download page telling them not to 
forget to run make -f admin/Makefile, lol

but the main problem is that people are used to do a ./configure, make, 
make install, so when they see that there is a configure script in the 
tarball, they automatically assume it's just the standard procedure, 
without reading the doc...

perhaps we could add an entry in the FAQ...

but i think we'll have to live with these questions untill the 0.17.x 
serie... where things should improve.
