Can the build docs (README and README-builds.html) be updated so more people know about this? Also, if it's going to be a while before the SNMP plugin is free of this requirement, it would still be nice to have command line capabilities for accepting the license. In my case, I'm glad I don't need the SNMP plugin (yet). Thanks, -- VK

Surely there must be a way to interact with the license agreement on the command line, similar to how the self-extracting pre-built Sun JDK builds do? I'd appreciate instructions on how to do so.
