I’m planning on releasing Gash tonight, so that should be okay.  :D

For the utilities, it might take some time (especially since we are
running up against the holidays).  My current plan is to do it as
quickly as possible, meaning that I will focus on the bare minimum for a
first release.  Even then, it won’t be speedy: besides cleaning up
what’s there and setting up the build scripts, I will have to coordinate
with the folks at Savannah to get another Git repo.

Even if it takes a few weeks for a release, I think it makes sense to
wait.  This whole project has taken years!  What’s a couple of weeks?
:)
