OK thanks.
As soon as you know how much time you may have on this
tell us, and I may help if there is some more work to be done 
which does not fits your time schedule.

This looks fine too me.
I think we should first target "source" release including
source RPM and source deb package.

The only "exception" would be Windows binary release
I think we should at least provide MSVC-usable NSIS installer,
since windows user are not used to compile software before installing
it.

Then anyone providing binary package is welcome to propose
it and we may put it in the appropriate "prebuilt" directory.

I'll provide FC8 binary RPM and a debian testing (AMD64) one.

Thank you for your proposition
