I can answer this.  :)  If it's not too big, you can generally post to the=20
list, but poor ol' Jens is on a really slow connection and he'd appreciate =
it=20
if you didn't post large files directly to the list.

If it's a large tarball, and you don't have a server you can put it on for=20
Jens to download, you can email it to me and I'll put it up for him.  Then =
he=20
can download it at his leisure.  :)

As for getting it into a contribution area of the source, I know nothing.  =
But=20
I can help get the file transferred logistically.  ;)
