Sorry, I've had not had time to do an upload. I will take it asap.

Well, althoug it's old at least the author GPL'd it so it can be
useful since there are not many stable VRML browsers available for Linux.
Vrwave (non-free) is not yet an option (also, it's Java based), so vrweb
with xswallow should work in all Debian Linux.
However I've found that in Debian 2.1 vrweb core dumps on start
up ¿any idea? does it work on unstable? I will try to take this possibly
next week.
