  5. Make sure the binaries for TkCximage? and Webcamsn, for Windows (DLL) and Mac OS X (.dylib) are updated
  6. Commit all this changes to CVS
  7. Add a tag on CVS for this stable version (like "Release-0_9x")
  8. Do a: cvs export msn to have a clean copy of the CVS (without CVS/ folders or extra files)
  9. Do a: cvs export amsn-extras to get some additional skins
  10. Add shipped skins (at the moment, default one, and Tux) from amsn-extras to skins/.
  11. Test everything runs fine
  12. Tar-gzip the msn/ folder, removing any unnecessary extras. (Shouldn't be any). As some kind of "standard" in the gnu world, if the tar.gz is amsn-0.93.tar.gz, the folder inside must be called amsn-0.93.
