Thank you.  :)  It is done.  No binary packages, sorry.  Also, I just did a 
cvs checkout and tarred the whole thing.  No time to test "make dist" and 
tweak it until it's right, assuming it wouldn't work the first time.  (It is 
a new build system, after all)

Hopefully that'll get some people at least downloading it and playing with 
it.  :)

I'm getting good at this file release thing.  :)  It's a piece of cake.  Heh.  
(been clearing out older projects sitting on my hard drive and releasing or 
deleting them, so I've made a few releases recently)  Here's hoping we'll get 
someone to come along and throw some patches at us, eh?
