I don't want to distribute anything.

Having a tarball is the basis for a unified binary distribution that can be installed (manually or automatically) on any Unix platform. Tarballs should note be the primary means of installation, but it should be available on every platform as a basis for side installations. >> * instructions to compile drizzle with static libraries; > > This will never work.
