Please revive original distfile download URL #42

Traditionally, Window Maker releases were put up at https://www.windowmaker.org/pub/source/release/ (v0.95.9 is still downloadable from there) but starting with v0.96.0 we're being told to download from GitHub, the old location 404's now. Not just this breaks existing packaging scripts/makefiles/rpm-specs, it can also be a problem in environments/jurisdictions where GitHub/Azure CDN is blocked or pessimized. Would it be possible to put the distfile back alongside with previous releases? I don't think it would generate enough traffic to become a concern. :-)

Done -- thanks for the suggestion!
