I think we need to reverse the order we do things though... first create binaries, then market.

It doesn't help if we get people to be excited about the features and what Allegro can do, just to lead them to an empty downloads page. (And no, source code doesn't count in 2014... I know myself I ignore anything I'd have to compile myself first :p)
