How about we start putting a stable version of Gem in the pure-data  
CVS?  Then it'll automatically be built as part of the Pd-extended  
build system, and the gem-dev's won't have to worry about making binary  
releases anymore, except for test versions, or whatever.

Tell me a tag to use, and I'll even do the import to pure-data CVS.
