No sorry, I didn't create them yet. Originally planned to make them
manually, then starting from the future versions to add new Makefile
target that would build them automatically.

But later I changed my mind - it's better to start creating them
automatically right from the scratch (read as add new SSG GitHub
repo Makefile target, that would create them upon request).

This way we can find an agreement wrt e.g. to paths, where the content
should be installed etc. (wanted to do this earlier, but in the meantime
got distracted by other issues).

I will do make that pull request tomorrow (so tomorrow in the evening
they could be available already).

Sorry for the delay (and thanks for the remainder!)

Regards, Jan.
