I'm not forgetting them, but purposefully ignoring them, since rpms
cover a lot of ground (multiple distros, multiple types of rpms) whereas
win32 and source are pretty straightforward. I also figure rpm users
have some more clue as to being able to find their own downloads... we
can debate it if you'd like, but one thing you'll have to point out is
just where you'd like the rpm link to go to.
