Thanks, I usually change the name to include the R version for the
release. The devel versions usually don't have an R version number
(because it' hard-coded), but apparently I didn't remove it. The
release will definitely have 2.9.0.

This is some encoding issue on the build machine. When I build it
manually, it's ok, so Im still not sure how to fix it .. (except to
build the GUIs manually). I'll have a look...
