Oops! Due to the new traceroute files in this release, I had to do
parts of the Win32 build manually, and I guess I screwed it up.
Thanks for catching this. Only the two Windows binary release files
should be affected, so the UNIX users don't need to worry. Expect
4.21ALPHA3 within the next 15 minutes (building now).

I am trying to catch up soon, but a little duplication is actually
helpful. Having five examples of a certain OS/device on different
hardware or different networks helps me produce a much better
signature than if I have only one or two instances of an OS.

Cheers,
