Now up to an 0.7.1 release tarball on the downloads page[0].  Apart
from various code cleanup and cosmetic tweaks, it's recently grown the
ability to generate shell completions, and the `install` and `extract`
commands have an arg to do multi-thread parallel file installation
(with all the risks and benefits you'd expect from that).

I don't have anything else significant on my list for it currently, so
my current plan is some final checking/proofing, beating the web page
into a bit better shape with some better organized reference material,
and getting a port together.  Barring someone pointing out big
surprises, it should hopefully be ready in time for 13.4 (I can send
some people to kidnap Colin for a few days to buy some time if
necessary).
