Please don't do it, specially as we may have to use V4 a loooooong time.

Linux downloads may have been quite low these last months because before the last v4rc, the Linux binary build of Sigil was huge and some Linux users may have kept away from the v03.4 version just because of that (at least that happened for me).

I tried to build a binary for the 0.34 version and failed. That's really not easy for average users. My last successful try was when I proposed a deb to Valloric two years ago but he refused it because it was not a universal Linux build and came from "random people".
