Since providing imagefiles has been a touchy subject in the past --
particularly with ISO images,  I'd really like a clear cut answer
before altering the current state.

AFAIK:
1st,  the alpha1-candidate will
  * gcc2hybrid,
  * ISO, VMDK, raw Image.
  * built using the "alpha-*" ReleaseBuildProfiles  (which will
dictate optional packages and possibly ATA vs IDE)
  * not --include-gpl-addons

Now, for the other gcc combinations of gcc2, gcc4, and gcc4hybrid,
what should be done about them?
 * continue providing them as "alpha-*" (or a similar profile to be
created, eg "nightly-*")
 * provide them as only the basic raw image
 * provide ISO's of them? (be it either basic haiku-cd  or @alpha-cd)

Should haiku-files.org be restructured?
 * creating haiku-files.org/releases/R1Alpha1/index.php
 * relocating  haiku-files.org/raw, /vm  to
haiku-files.org/nightly/raw, /vm, /iso(assuming we want to provide
nightly iso's)
 * modifying haiku-files.org/index.php to reflect the above changes

Lastly, if no one objects, i'd like to start providing gcc2hybrid
images of ISO, VMDK, Image.  One set with IDE and another with ATA --
as this should help to flesh out the issues between them.  Though, i'm
not sure if they should go in a new location,  eg,
haiku-files.org/releases/R1Alpha1Candidate/
