yes, that's what I was also thinking during lunch. :) And maybe copying
would be enough, too, if we decide to add new files only to qgis.org.

Another question: that way we would still have src and win32 binaries in one
folder on qgis.org - as it is now. I would suggest that we change this for
the future, too. I would create subfolders in /var/www/downloads as on
download.osgeo.org and we organize all new files there from now on?

Does this make sense to you?
