I have other places I can download.  I can make my own!  That'll
take 1/2 CD just to hold it though.  That's a LOT of data!

I'll know later today what the file size is uncompressed.  Don't
tell me what it is.

What say we go ahead and check in what you've done so far, so that
other people can start playing with it?  Another stable release was
done last week, so we might as well have something new show up in
the April 1st development snapshot.  I might tweak the label for the
menu so that people don't get confused, but that's about it so far.
