[wellylug] Announce release IPCop v1.4.3/v1.4.4

[Michael Dittmer]

I got the announcement from the IPCOP user mailing list and passed it on
incase anyone was interested.

If you not interested, just ignore the email and not respond to it, then
everyone is happy.

Regards

Michael

?

Does Wellylug have some special relationship with this package?

I'm wondering why the announcement - this package out of so many...
