Subject: BeebEm Repo on Github

Hi Eelco,

This is great, I've added you as a contributor. Please let us know what
you've got.

I'm going to add issues called - "fork integration" and "old release
collection", so we can figure out how to do all this in a relatively
orderly manner.

I've also added your request for raw disk images as an issue.
