[third time lucky]

The home site for SLiRP is actually blitzen.canberra.edu.au:/pub/slirp/
and there's a World Wide Waste page at
http://blitzen.canberra.edu.au/slirp/ which is also mirrored at
http://peak.usa1.com/slirp/

sunsite may be a bit (s/bit/lot/) more stable than blitzen, but I've
noticed that it's usually quite hopelessly out-of-date with the current
released version of SLiRP (it's cool now, because there hasn't been a new
one for yonks, but a while ago...)

I'll udiff it if you think it's worth the change.
