Preon repository cloned

This weekend, I found out that the Preon repository wasn't available for anonymous access. That's just awful. In order to make sure everybody has access, I also started pushing to Github. That way, you can get the latest versions, if you need to. If you agree with me that this is suboptimal, please raise a vote here.

Update: the issue with the Codehaus repository has been fixed. I will continue pushing to both Github and Codehaus for a while, but the blessed repository is the one on Codehaus.

Could you make a blog post on how to add Preon to a Maven project?
Dependencies, repositories etc.

Also, how does Preon handle variable length fields? An example would be if a sequence of 4 bytes defines the length of the following byte array.

One other thing is if a field is very large, like almost 1-2gb, can Preon handle it without reading the lot into memory?

Thank you and sorry if I am off topic.
