"Source tree" confusion

Hello Rene, Fons,

  It seems to me the "Complete source tree" confuses  the users 
somehow.  
 From the messages I got I concluded the users are getting 
very this tar file and confuse themselves this way. They can not find 
there neither "tutorials" nor "test" subdirectories. 
 Apparently there is no "lib"  and "bin" too but getting the "source 
tree" people don't expect those. They undertstand they have to build 
bin and lib themselves.

   May be some sort of the comment should be supplied on this topic.
   (or may be you should move this term to bottom of this page)

   I think we should advise people to get very "ready-to-use" copy 
FIRST (especailly for a new adopter) and leave that "source tree" as 
some sort of "documentation" for adviced usage.

             Valery
