Bug Description

Currently it is not clear from BUILD.txt or

http://www.percona.com/doc/percona-xtrabackup/installation/compiling_xtrabackup.html

what exact server source version needs to be downloaded when not using (or not being able
to use) AUTO_DOWNLOAD

The build.sh script will provide this information in an error message if the appropriate file is not found in the top level xtrabackup source dir, but it would be good to know the required/supported version without having to run build.sh (or to look into it), especially in situation where the build system is isolated from the public internet ...

Giving actual download link and not just source tarball filenames like in the current error message would also be nice, and the documentation sould probably also clarify that the exact versions expected by build.sh should be used and that changing the version info in build.sh to have it build against a different server version is not supported ...
