I have tagged and tarballed a 0.2 release of Sparse, now available from
<http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/josh/sparse/dist/sparse-0.2.tar.gz>,
with sha1sum 1762fc609fe436e74b87356a52690b5f7bb40c81.

In addition to plenty of bug fixes, this release includes several notable new features:

* -Wall, thanks to Pavel Roskin
* #strong_define and #strong_undef, thanks to Oleg Nesterov
* Argument parsing functions no longer mangle the argv passed to them, thanks to Christopher Li
* static library and header files now installed, along with a pkg-config file to find them
* Makefile now supports DESTDIR, useful for packagers
