The GameCD is not part of the release, so it does not have to be
released at the same time as 2004.1. Rather, it should be released when
it is sufficiently tested. Perhaps put it up on our BT server a week or
two after 2004.1? Of course, if it is ready to release w/ 2004.1, I
would be more than happy to do it - we just have to make sure that it
meets QA.

BTW - send me your catalyst patches for the gamecds please :)
