Thanks Fabian, will get onto it.

I'm always a bit ignorant on the licensing front, but since the installer  
is just a zip file how might that be more of a licensing concern than,  
say, Apple's .pkg format as used on OS X? The only binary being  
distributed is Privoxy compiled for ARM - is that your concern? As ever,  
apologies if I'm missing a wider issue (I often do where GPL is  
concerned!).
