It's working smoothly on Debian and OSX for me now, so I've put out a call for 
testers.

How are we going to name/version these updates? I've started on the "release" 
notes:

https://github.com/mxe/mxe/commit/d311959c2401e55e32143a77e8b65bbf2816d570

but got stuck with what to call the latest version and I'm not sure if we're 
going to start using git tags or not (seem to have lost all the old mercurial 
ones?).

Cheers,

Tony
