Hmm... once they're publicly available in one place (I'll be downloading them
for backup anyway if they go in the usual place on the website), it's not THAT
much work to create the equivalent of a vendor branch in git and dump in these
versions one by one, with some creative use of dates in the commit log, if anyone
is interested.

As it's pre-vcs, I don't think any fancy branching would be needed, just a linear
record.
