You know, I think that we should sit on the tarball for a couple of days
and release later on Sunday afternoon, for a full-on monday release.
This way other ppl. can look at the package, and possibly provide fixes.
Also, Monday is a good day for releases.

Also, this will give me time to rebuild the nsis win32 installer with
the 0.14 version.

Still though, I like how you go ahead and put that package on-line.

Does this sound sound?
