[Adam Clark <adamsgl AT dhbit.ca>]

Just so everybody knows,  I'm not ignoring this thread.  I have taken note
of the problems, and will make sure the following are re-tested in the next
Beta:

- the trimming of the linux spell, so that unavailable patches, etc., don't
show up in the selection menu... this is something I accidentally introduced
in the latest beta, and is easily remedied

- the saving of the compile optimizations... I don't know how I broke this
in the latest beta, but it will be fixed

There are a couple of other things that will be worked on, too.  I hope any
and all further bugs will be reported to bugs.sourcemage.org.

Thanks!

-Adam
