Kyle,

FWTools was built at random intervals from GDAL trunk.  It appears that
last release was around the 1.7 release point.  I haven't really tried to
keep producing new FWTools releases over the last year and I'm not sure
I've retained enough of the materials for it to produce a new one.  I
might revisit this at some point.  In the meantime I mostly try to point
people to OSGeo4W now.

Best regards,
