I also have rpm packages of xboard for opensuse
(http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/apersaud/). I'll put a
link up on the gnu-webpage to point to those two as a developer release
for beta-tester. I'll also upload a tar.gz of the latest snapshot to
alpha.gnu.org.

I also will contact the FICS admins and ICS to spread the word a bit.
