In fact, I've just made up a package - I did it by hand, so I can't
guarantee it will actually install properly, but if it doesn't you can
just untar it and run Freshen/2.099/bin/Freshen from within it. It's a
CVS snapshot, exactly what you'd get from checking it out from the
repository (should anybody want to do that in future, `cvs -z3
-d:pserver:anonymous at cvs.savannah.nongnu.org:/sources/goboscripts co
tools/Freshen-2.0`; it only takes a few seconds).

I've put it up at http://e.geek.nz/files/Freshen--2.0.9--i686.tar.bz2
- you should be able to run `InstallPackage
http://e.geek.nz/files/Freshen--2.0.9--i686.tar.bz2`; if it doesn't
install, just download and untar it. I'll do a proper release on
Tuesday and a recipe too.
