you can get a "snapshot" of any of the commits. But I'm compiling
3.2beta1 right now, and I plan to publish binaries this time.

well, it is usually the other way around. compile it on RHEL5 to get a
working binary on Ubuntu 10.04.

What we do is that we compile _all_ external dependencies
into /opt/syslog-ng with an rpath setting that points
to /opt/syslog-ng/lib

Then you only need to copy the /opt/syslog-ng/ tree to move it to
another computer.
