We'll just wait one more day. Dom being off-line for seeveral days,
there is no urgency because he won't commit anything within a couple
of hours :-))

0.9.1 was uploaded, and people downloaded it (I sent the sourceforge notice)
Consider the 0.9.1 as a silent release. We are now about to release 0.9.2...
We have no Marketdroïd to prevent that from happening, so let's go,
increment version and release.

0.9.x is a bugfixes series before 1.0. One day we will freeze and release
1.0beta1. At that time will probably fork for 1.1 (if not already).
But currently 420 open bugzilla cases is not enough for a 1.0beta release.
As for bugzilla, I'll try do see if I can add a 0.9.x target, unless
SamTH does it before.
Objections welcome.
