Sourceforget is somewhat unreliable from time to time.  I used to hate
Javascript back when it was only supported by proprietary software
(Netscape Navigator).  But now I am happily using the resource hog
called Mozilla Firefox (or Debian Iceweasel).

The page http://viceplus.wiki.sourceforge.net/binary_downloads seems to
point to individual files at
http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/crossplatform/emulators/VICEplus/.
The source releases (currently one) seem to be listed at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=200532.

Bo Zimmerman's file archive should be free of Javascript.  At least it
looks like the directory listings are still generated by the Perl
scripts that Pasi Ojala and me wrote a long time ago.

BTW, I noticed that the VICE 1.22-1 package in Debian implements
user-defineable joystick keys, a very welcome addition.  However,
that panel does not appear to be available in xvic; only in x64.
It would also be nice if the joystick settings were saved with
emulator snapshots, because different games could benefit from
different mappings.

Also, it would be nice if -VICIIhwscale or -VICIhwscale was renamed
to something that is common for all emulated platforms (easier to
remember).  Or perhaps I should read the documentation and find out
if these can be written to a configuration file.
