Chuck,

Thanks for the excellent summary of events.  I too was wondering 
what happened, since this is the first time I've seen the setup 
program so unstable and re-released so often.  Your explanation 
clears it all up for me now.

Also, FWIW, my problems with setup.exe are all gone now since 
.2.8, and in fact I can finally build from the source now with 
a simple ./configure && make.

Thanks,
Alan
