How about we have a link to the GUI tools off the downloads page for all of the GUI tools?

What do GUI clients need to comply with in order to get space on the downloads page?

After I go 1.0 with MacHg (any day now...) I wouldn't mind updating updating MacHg so I do point releases for new Mercurial versions...
