I don't think applying the 2.0 license to code that has already been
released under 1.1 gains anything here. It's IDENTICAL code.

And I think we would be causing users further annoyance by modifying the
source code in any way. It will be annoying enough for them to have to
go through the 1.0 to 1.0.1 upgrade. If they can see, however, that the
version control system has ZERO changes between 1.0 and 1.0.1 for the
source code that will help. If we get in there and change all the files
that will only make the upgrade harder.

This is an EMERGENCY release to fix a nasty distribution problem, not a
regular release.

Simon
