Released first in Australia.  Later it will be imported to SourceForge
and other repositories.  http://vanilla.netrek.org/ has yet to be
updated, but I'm planning that.

Further patches against 2.10.0 or CVS are welcome, please post them.

Debian packages can be found also in that directory, suitable for use by
apt-get.
