I think this will have to wait until after the release. If I were to integrate 
changes for OSX before the release, we'd have to retest all other platforms 
that we know are working now.

I think there was consensus about the packages:
1) tarball containing Catapult source
2) Win32 installer for openMSX + Catapult

I don't remember whether there was a final decision about the versioning yet.

Herman was working on this, I don't know how far he got.

I usually do this during release and commit changes afterwards. This file is 
not part of "make dist" anyway.

I looked at the code yesterday, but it wasn't such a quick fix as I had hoped. 
I'll look at it again tomorrow.

Unless someone gets a brilliant insight and suddenly knows the cause of one of 
these bugs, I propose to fix them after the release.

I fixed the white lines that were annoying me. The icon is still fuzzy, but 
that's not something that has to be changed before the release.
