Yep, works for me too.  However, SourceForge does not provide any 
MD5sums that I can see.  Downloading is not my issue.

Maybe I'm just being a stickler here, but what is the purpose of 
providing MD5sums if they are incorrect?  How am I supposed to verify 
that my download wasn't corrupted?  I'm not being paranoid here, 
sometimes my connection is spotty enough to wind up with a bad download, 
and I'm just in the habit of verifying checksums whenever they are 
provided.

Sure, I can download and build.  I was just pointing out a tiny error 
that maybe someone could fix and address.  I HOPE I'm not the only one 
that verifies the checksums, but maybe I am?
