	Can we get a link to a downloadable that doesn't have to be built or compiled or what have you? I mean, I know that NetHack has a long history of being omni-platform and mostly targetted to the extreme computer-savvy, so raw source is probably adequate for most folks... but there are some dummies like me who need someone to make a .exe for us.

For one, it's NetHack 4, not NetHack 4.0.0; yes, that seems like a small difference, but it's significant, as it's not using the devs' original numbering system. Secondly, the project may, like Stone Soup, actually supplant the original (no one plays Crawl 4.x really any more, except for historical interest). There's no reason that projects seeking to do that should have to name themselves something saying that they're not the "real" or "true" game. NetHack is open source.
