[RELEASE] RelNotes (Draft 3), last preliminary 4.2.0 tarballs

[Scott Horowitz]

Sorry if this has already been mentioned (I've finally switched to 
non-digest form just now). I installed gtk2-xfce-engine without a 
problem but then encountered an error on the next install:

root at yos stonecrest # chmod +x xfce4-4.2.0-installer.bin
root at yos stonecrest # ./xfce4-4.2.0-installer.bin
bash: ./xfce4-4.2.0-installer.bin: /bin/sh: bad interpreter: Text file busy
