I don't see any real difference between the two, really.  If it's not  
legal to distribute the single binary with IDEA, then it's not legal  
to distribute the module.  And going the module way, you wind up  
getting a large number of support requests saying "I downloaded the  
module, but I still can't read IDEA traffic", since people tend not  
to be all that familiar with editing gpg.conf.

I should also point out, while I'm at it, that I don't recommend  
using IDEA.  But the old RSA/IDEA legacy is unlikely to go away  
anytime soon, not as long as there's a ton of poorly-written  
anonymity software that depends on PGP 2.6.
