Whatintuncket is windrvr6.o? That doesn't sound as if it should be

I've had the .bz2's byte me from defective unpacks a couple of times,
so I settled on grabbing the .gz file if it was available. As for
2.4.30, dunno, but 2.4.29 is running very happily on my old RH7.3
firewall box. I just updated it from 2.4.18-something-or-other a
month back, ruined a nearly 2 year uptime (I have a BIG ups :)
