[Netkit.users] First official release of Netkit-NG

[Julien Iguchi-Cartigny]

Hello,

I've pushed your requests and made new binaries available here:

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/9c7lytzrojz4jua/AAAWr6fVUyJtf37aQwXecruka

Could you confirm that with these new binaries it is faster AND you have
a /proc/config.gz ?

Regards

Julien
