[Dick Hollenbeck <dick@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your enthusiasm Miguel.

I do not need help building the binaries, they are building fine.  You can help with step
b) here by providing a PNG file for the installer, I need it real soon.

When the installer is done, you can help with step c) also.

Thanks,

Dick
