Would it be possible to make a seperate CVS branch for the GOTM version?

Then on the game's download page you could have both TuxKart 0.5 (which
would be TuxKart 0.4 but with the extra tracks etc from GOTM, plus
anything else you might want to keep) and then below that also TuxKart
GOTM 0.1 (which would be from the branch with SDL).

You can then be as disparaging as you like about the GOTM version on the
page (this has huge amounts of dependencies so don't tell me if it
doesn't compile, all requests for support will be ignored, etc), but at
least then people have the choice.
