Oh, sorry -- I assumed that the presence of a tarball on iBiblio *did*
mean that things were fixed in stone.  I try to avoid ever having more
than one version of a tarball running around the Internet with the same
version number on it, so I figured that published is published. :/

Depending on what all needs changing, I may just skip the 0.60.2 release
as far as Debian is concerned, so I can focus instead on getting ready
for 0.61.
