If you got it directly from that link on the page Dave gave, this is a
sourceforge thing:  Dave reminded me that this tgz link (with a url
of the form '....tgz?download') actually points to an html page with
the real URL on it.  I intend to write a ruby program to get around
this nonsense for next time I want something from sourceforge.  I
don't know when I'll get time for that though.
