pcg website's pcg-c download link: use github's automated zipball

[listx]

We should probably use git to tag a release, and then provide 2 links on the website: (1) zipball for the tagged release (something like https://help.github.com/articles/linking-to-releases/) and (2) zipball for master.

(2) is easy to do right away because it already exists: https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/zipball/master.

(1) requires creating a tagged commit, then pushing it here, and then linking it using the 'zipball' syntax somehow.

I just think it's better to do this as it is more automated and also offloads the storage/bandwidth (however trivial) from pcg-random.org to github.

This is indeed true and on the to-be-fixed list.

@imneme it seems you've done some great work incorporating changes recently [thanks!]; maybe you would like to consider applying this issue as a finishing step now?

Apply a tag(s) (0.99? 1.0? whatever, really) for the current code state, and/or also do a github release (where you can upload arbitary codeballs if you like) and then I would suggest you could update your website to point to the new code?

https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-releases would be useful if you would like to keep the previous convention on your website where you released different zips for different language compatibility. Otherwise a tag / release of the current codebase would be fine.

Yes, it's something I'll be moving to do in the next week or so. Feel free to prod me if it's not done in a timely way.

@imneme you said you wouldn't mind a prod, so here's one :D
