I guess christian already answered most of your questions. Do you have 
access to sourceforge to upload the binaries? Anything else you might 
want access to? If you would like I can email you what time I'm 
preparing the release before I do it so you know to grab it.
Sorry about the period, as christian mentioned it was an error in the 
script.

Let me know if I can help.
Chris
