Do you write software for the packager or for the user? I'm sure you can
hack a little perl script to make this more convenient.

It is actually nice to have the version number in the file name. This
way you can check for necessary update more easily and it is simple to
collect old versions.

So it is all set up? Then we just need to link to it. :)
