Yes, we had problems with both the OSX and win32 builds, which we have not
resolved yet unfortunately.  The problem with a "source only" release is
that on the sf download site, users will be directed to the latest release,
and there will be no binaries available there.  I suppose we could reupload
the old binaries there, but I would prefer to et these issues resolved.  I
have had a crazy few weeks (first vacation, then my mom broke both her arms
on vavation with me requiring surgery on both sides, and I've been spending
time with her helping her recover), and I am just starting to get back into
normal life here (meaning I'm behind on non-mpl things as well)
