Been meaning to say something about this:  If you look at how many
times each file has been downloaded from Sourceforge, you'll see that
the only binary version we have, which was for Slackware 8.0, has
been downloaded over a thousand times.  That's more than 25% of the
total downloads.

Right now I think people are being misled into downloading this one
because they aren't reading the release notes that tell them what
version/OS it's for.

If we continue to release binary versions, I think a restructuring of
the file naming is in order, so that people know what they're
getting.

The flip side of this is that people appear to want a binary release
since they're downloading the only one we have _so_ much.
