I own the official COW Linux libc5 key by myself. If there are any problems
with the binaries, please tell me.

I did not do a Smallscreen libc5 version, because this lib is already quite
outdated. If one really needs a 800x600 (small Screen) client, he should upgrade
the system to glibc.

If there is really a need for a libc5 small screen version I may make one.

Clients which don't follow the official naming convention generated
automatically by the make, should never be uploaded anyway.

My suggestion is not to upload the client as well as the key.
There should not be more than one blessed client for each architecture.
