Fair enough.  Here are the release candidate 1 tarballs:

https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/libotr-4.1.0-rc1.tar.gz
https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/pidgin-otr-4.0.1-rc1.tar.gz

All packagers: please try these out and post here by the end of Monday
(20 Oct) whether or not something is amiss.

Paul in particular: the above tarballs still contain the 4.0.0 spec
files.  Please send me ones for the new versions if you want them
included in the release.

I will next try to build the Windows binaries.  I've never tried that on
this new machine, so hopefully the instructions in the repo haven't
bitrotted too badly... :-p

Thanks, all!
