        and a significant reorganization of the topics dialog
    Tutorial improvements based on user feedback
    Updated installers to clean out old Lurch files before installing,
        and Windows installer now has silent (/S) option for both install

Special note for Linux users:
    The Linux install script in this release of Lurch has been tested on
    Ubuntu 12.10, Linux Mint 14, and Xubuntu 12.10 only.  It probably
    also functions on other Linux distributions, but has not been tested 
    there.  Nevertheless, the script itself is rather straightforward and
    liberally commented.  Intrepid users should find no difficulty walking
    through the comments and doing a manual install on their own Linux/BSD
    system.
