Suggestion to remove .HEX files from Pinecil release

I mean I'm not against this, but I sort of left them on the basis of (a) I'm not paying for file storage and (b) they dont really hurt anyone, and if people are using the GD tool, using hex removes the option of getting it wrong.

Could go either way, just felt normal to leave them all matching :)
