Reasons for your own compile:
The obvious - Hacking the code yourself
Want to install it in a non-standard place
No binary packages for your arch.
No binaries for your distrib.
I'm a compiling person, I like to compile stuff up myself, I rarely
./configure without some kinda widgit, or switches, removing unneeded
features, etc....
Binaries are over-rated :)
