 Description   

Currently, the only way to build zabbix_get and zabbix_sender is to configure with --enable-agent.

Drawbacks:

(1) compilation takes noticeably longer on slower machines;
(2) it is not exactly intuitive that we should specify --enable-agent to compile zabbix_get and zabbix_sender;
(3) on platforms where agent is not yet supported, we might still want zabbix_sender, and if agent compilation fails then we also do not get zabbix_sender (without additional effort).

I fully agree - it would be neat to have control about building user utilities.

I want to have zabbix_server and zabbix_get on zabbix-proxies (i.e. for debugging purposes).

Just provide a dedicated configure switch to compile user tools separately.

i.e.
--with-usertools
--without-usertools
