OK, I think I have a pretty workable scheme for deploying C-Kermit 8.0:
cku200src.tar
Unix source files, makefile, man page, license, CA certs.
Uncompressed: 8.8MB
Compressed: 3.2MB
Gzipped: 2.1MB
cku200.tar
Symlink to cku200src.tar (ditto for .Z and .gz)
cku200txt.tar
The standard C-Kermit initialization file and
sample customization file (plain text).
Unix installation instructions, hints and tips files,
configuration options, program logic manual,
and the C-Kermit 7.0 and C-Kermit 8.0 supplements to
"Using C-Kermit" (each of these files is in plain-text
format, dumped from the HTML original).
Uncompressed: 1.9MB
Compressed: 0.7MB
Gzipped: 0.6MB
ckv200src.zip
VMS source files, build script, and license ("unzip -a").
Size: 2.1MB
ckv200txt.zip
Like cku200txt.tar, but for VMS and in "unzip -a" format.
Size: 0.5MB
As of now, all of these are in:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/tar/
Here is a directory listing:

You can download whichever ones you want, plus any desired binaries from:

More news... Now the makefile:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/test/text/makefile
has a brand-new "install" target that, I hope, works to everybody's
satisfaction. It is documented in the newly-updated C-Kermit for Unix
Installation Instructions, Section 5:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckuins.html#x5
which discusses the initialization file, the ancillary files, and the
"make install" target and how to use it (WARNING: some of the file links
on this page might not work as expected because the C-Kermit 8.0 text
files are not yet finalized and therefore have not been installed in their
final resting place, which means you'll get either the 7.0 copies or
nothing at all if it's a new file).
Also note that I made no attempt to package HTML documents. That's because
(a) if you want to view them, you can view them at the Kermit site, and
(b) they probably contain a lot of relative links that would break if you
viewed these pages offsite and out of context.
Many of the information files and web pages are still being worked on.
They are not final, nor are the archive contents. Comments, reactions,
suggestions welcome. Thanks to everybody who commented already, and
special thanks to Peter Eichhorn of Assyst GmbH in Germany for his
contributions to the new makefile targets.
