Some parts of Intel haven't quite figured out how open source software
is integrated into distributions. They're trying to make sure everything
you need is available, but the stuff you see on the Intel web site is
just a snapshot of what appears in X.org CVS. 

In fact, the code is incorporated into X.org CVS before the files are
placed on the Intel web site, so there's every reason to ignore the
snapshots.
