In the interest of making the distribution as widely available as
possible, I've placed files on SourceForge and at
http://www.python.org/2.0/

I used the file name conventions that we used throughout the 2.0
release cycle, e.g. Python-2.0.tar.gz.  I don't know if that's the GNU
standard or not (didn't realize it was a standard; don't know where to
find said standard; or is it just a custom?)
