If you need to compile something that links to this JAR then you do not
need the daemon
However, for just about any case where somebody wants to run the JAR,
they must have a gmond process running on the same host as the JVM
The gmetric4j code actually transmits metrics to a network destination
(multicast or a UDP destination address). The receiving host expects to
receive a heartbeat from the gmond with the same IP address that
gmetric4j is sending from.
