	Yes, I only upload on download page modifications I have tested. I 
don't say that there is no regression bug ;-) Indeed, I only upload 
files that contain bug fixes or new features I have tested on sparc64 (I 
don't have any amd64 or i386).

	rpl.h contains an illegal sequence but I don't understand why I never 
see it on my test server... When you build a RPL/2 from scratch, you 
convert all files in src directory to avoid encoding troubles, and I 
don't think why src/rpl.h was broken. I have fixed it, I'm trying to 
build a new RPL/2 from sources. If build process ends without error, I 
shall upload a new tarball as soon as possible.
