[developers] New PET release tarball ready for download

[Ben Waldron]

Thanks for the new release.

I was able to install pet-0.99.10 relatively painlessly on my SuSE 
laptop (modulo an mmap problem: I had to use the KERNEL_2_4 settings 
although I am running a 2.6.11 kernel). I had some difficulty installing 
it on our 32- and 64-bit FC3 machines, until I realised that I had 
omitted the '--with-cmuformat' to the ECL configure script (in case 
anyone else does the same, you can see below what happens when you try 
to 'make' PET in such circumstances). Would it be possible to have the 
PET install procedure check at configure time that '--cmu-format' has 
been compiled into the ECL used (rather than waiting for the 'make' to 
fail)?

Thanks,
- Ben
