Happy New Year!  Great to see, although ironic timing - had just
written down fixing up my AppImage script* to use 12.2 on my to-do
list for the start of the year.

What's in the repo exactly?

I had a conversation with Simon Peter (probono) on this after posting
about the above script experiment.  There are at least two issues in
doing an AppImage under the Apache umbrella - linking in a JDK, and
the politics of choosing which JDK.  Of course, having an AppImage
without bundled JDK should be doable here, but less useful?

I personally like the approach of building the parts to order,
probably in a different fashion, and think it's something we might
explore across other OS too.
