Done. See the "downloads" section at

This can be discussed, but I'd prefer to make it a moot point by:
a. completely merging the distributions, OR
b. avoiding the "incompatibility" issues that came up this time. The current
"problem" arose partly because there were giant changes in AmberTools, but
mostly because we(I) was too lazy to squash all the problems.
In the future, my idea is that the tree name (e.g. amber10, amber11) would
change on an "Amber" release, and we would take care that any intermediate
releases of AmberTools were compatible with the most recent Amber source tree.
This is more work on our part, but gives a lot of simplification for users
if we can pull it off.
