I've uploaded new binaries.  Additional changes are:

. sort platforms in the drop down box

. "Hungarian" Jornada 680 is renamed to "European" (approved by almost
  two years of silence, and the fact that the layout array is
  identical to what my "European English" #ABB unit observably has).

. fix a "keyboard only navigation" bug: it was impossible to tab out
  of the Console dialog if serial console was enabled

. recompiled under Japanese locale, so hopefully Japanese strings
  should be shown correctly now

A note for hpcmips folks: if you don't use hpcboot.exe to boot netbsd,
this version will continue to not work for you ;).

Since 2.0 release is going to happen soon, I'd appreciate if you can
give this new version a test before I commit it and request a pull up
to 2.0 branch.

TIA

SY, Uwe
