Ready for wrap-up everyone?

[Hans-Bernhard B. <br...@ph...>]

Hello,

in case some of us forgot, the release target date I agreed us upon was
end of *this* week?

So, what's left to do that really has to be done before then?

*) Lars: contact Tom Williams (and whoever else you contacted last
   time) for the formal "blessing" according to the gnuplot Copyright
   statement.

*) Lars also seems to be the only person who can reliably generate a
   working 'gnuplot.texi' (my boxes are all either too old or
   too new to run doc2texi.el).  

*) HB: update Copyright years in all source files (!).

*) HB or Lars make a source tarball.

   Circulate that in private (Lars' ftp server?  Or the project home
   directory at sf.net?) to check for last-minute glitches.

*) Distribute work on binary packages for PCs.  

   One important note: I don't think we can provide binaries with
   the pdf driver compiled in.  It's "non-commercial use only".

   I would volunteer building the 32-bit DOS version (DJGPP).
   Cygwin by Petr (both Unix gnuplot/X11 and Win32 wgnuplot/pgnuplot,
                   in a single or two separate packages)?
   MacOS by Per?
   'docs tarball' by Lars?
   All ready by, let's say, Friday this week?

*) For previous releases, Lars provided digital signatures.  I think
   this should happen for this one, too.

*) Upload on Saturday, announcement ASAP.

If you spot major omission or want to reject assignments, please say so.
