Build 620 (now 621) has significant improvements to the distribution
servlet, a config option not to limit services or FCP (I think this also
applies to the distservlet, which is by default accessible to the public
internet, so might be a problem), upgrades Params to use Params rather
than FieldSets for its sub-Params, uses it everywhere, and contains a
minor core bugfix (AwaitingInsert had an NPE on cancelling the NoInsert
- this may have caused some problems :)). There are some issues with the
DistServlet though, mainly relating to the old oskarcode that writes out
the JAR on the fly.
* How to make it work from a compiled tree rather than a JAR. It needs
 to read freenet.files and freenet-ext.files, which come from the JAR.
 Theoretically we could use a class with a list of all the files in...
* Whether we want to have this functionality at all. It makes life
 easier for some users, but unless we provide a link to the source _for
 that particular compile_ somewhere in the code, it's a probable GPL
 violation (Joe gets from fp.org, a release, so could get the source.
 Mary gets from Joe, Adam gets from Mary... Adam has no easy way to
 find the source, and if Mary or Joe disappears, is stuffed).
* Whether we want to always bundle the source in the distribution
 servlet ZIP, or offer it as a separate bundle but still required. It's
 one more file to get, it's usually quite big (several megs) - but it
 would make everything totally clear with respect to the GPL/source
 availability.

Anyone who comments "or we could just change the license to BSD" will go
into my .procmailrc with a rule |(cat > /dev/null).
Have you stopped doing snapshots? The last I can find is 17/11/02, build 618.
