This is starting to sound like a good idea.  To recap: we'll fetch 
the CVS source as it was on Jan 1, 2005, and make official builds for 
Mac and Windows at least.  For Unix/Linux, a pre-built library may 
not make much sense, but a proper Unix package that you can configure 
and make would be appropriate.

Any volunteers to prepare such a package?  Who did it for 1.6d19?

Then, we just have to hope that all the changes between d18 and d20 
are actually improvements, or at least, not making things worse -- if 
some things got worse in that time, then I guess it'll be up to each 
application developer to choose which one is better for their app.

Best,
- Joe
