Björn,
Thank you for the feedback!
Many people have very restrictive hosting providers (shared host style) that barely run eZ publish 3 as it is, most of these kinds of providers refuse to customize the hosting server in any way for the client, some may not even provide ssh access.
For those who have ssh access to their server but don't have rights or hosting support to install php cli (required to compile and install php cli), eZ Pub has packaged up a pre-compiled php-cli linux binary that they should be able to unpack and use to run the eZ publish update scripts.

I see no reason why this shouldn't work. I can't remember though, if under linux php uses dynamic linked libraries for some modules or not. If everything is build static, it should work.
Great Addition!

This is an excellent addition that has been a much needed missing to the documentation.
I know people have been looking for directions on just how to install php-cli for some time.
This is great resource for people who have their own server, root access or a supportive hosting provider.
Question:
Couldn't a user manually copy a pre compiled php-cli binary application from another server onto a restrictive shared host in order to run the updated scripts that require php-cli?
