[ANN] So where's 3.2-5 for Unix?

Folks,

This message concerns only people who want to use the browser plugin.

Due to utter stupidity on my part I managed to include Bert's old browser
code in the 3.2-5 release.  I've cured the problem, but if you wanted to
build a browser plugin and you've already downloaded the sources then
please obtain a fresh copy.

In atonement for my sins I have also updated the binary releases (tgz and
rpms) to include prebuilt browser plugin VMs for GNU/Linux-{PPC,386} and
Solaris.

Bert has also written a script to help inform the various browsers of the
existence of the Squeak plugin.  After installing the tgz or rpm, run

	/usr[/local]/libsqueak/npsqueakregister

as root.  (This should be part of the RPM postinstall.  Maybe in 3.2-6...)

Note also that the browser plugin is enabled by default when building from
source.  To turn it off, use

	.../configure --without-npsqueak

Many thanks to Bert for spotting my idiotic mistake so fast.

Sorry for any confusion.

Ian
