You'll be emailed a download path
http://www.forth.com/downloads/SwiftForth-Win32-full-3.1.0-<a bunch of
letters and numbers>.exe

The "key" is now just a part of the installer filename, to keep anyone
who wasn't emailed the download path from downloading it. Then, just
run the installer. It works just like it always has, except now it
won't ask you for a password.

SwiftForth-Linux motivated us to do this: we're not giving it away, but
we couldn't come up with any way to password-protect the tarball that
wasn't obnoxious. Plus, the installer keys have always been a pain in
the butt for users. So, we killed two birds with one stone (a whole
flock, if you count all the SwiftX installers.)
