Here's the sticking point there... the copyright requires that the code
look a lot like it does when it's from Craig.  Do redistributions of
*modified* code in binary format require that "the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the
documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution"
must be in there?  Looks like source or binary, the answer's yes.

Anyhow, I don't think it'll be a big deal; I suppose you just tack on
more verbige in addition to what's already there -- any volunteers to
get the site set up?  I'm still a few months away from having good
quality "side project time", I'm afraid.

Good programmers steal code.
