Well, at the moment there is only zip and tgz, but if someone gets me a
hqx and suitable instructions to go on the quick start page, I will add
it.

Well, I have told FreshMeat, and SlashDot, although I am not so sure
about Wired.

Not nescessarily, I think Freshmeat can be our press-release (I am sick
of all things press-releated! ;-).

I suspect SourceForge can handle it, that is their job (er, kindof).  If
anyone else wants to mirror stuff, that is ok, but if SourceForge goes
down, the website probably will too so there may not be much point.
