Okidoki, every package that gets in the dist will be removed from this site.
I think I will have to repack all of them, but that is no problem though it
will last some days.
Some needs to be rebuilt then too.

BTW, is it possible to introduce a new path like '/opt' e.g. for Apache, or
should it better go in /usr/apache, /usr/mysql ...?
