0.6.0 sounds good to me.  i'm going to put a test tarball out in a minute
that i would like people to test (i'm stuck at home (for the holidays.. not
my home) with a windows machine *grumble* so all i can do is verifiy that we
build).  The authors file needs to be updated as well as the about box.  web
pages also need to be updated... working on that now.
