As the RM, that's my fault then.  When I start creating the page for a new
release I will leave the Windows and Mac links commented out.  I do (now
<wink>) wait for Martin to upload the Windows installers before announcing the
release, but generally don't wait for Ronald to produce the Mac images, so I
leave those commented out too.  When Ronald builds the Mac image and provides
it to me, I'll upload them and tweak the page.
