Found somewhere, can't recall exactly - I did it almost year ago.  
They aren't on Igor's site for some reason, but they were public 
and can't be lost.  :) 

I checked them - they are really original archives.  Archive for 
0.3.59 may be easily verified against checksums recorded in 
FreeBSD ports tree:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/www/nginx/distinfo?rev=1.78;content-type=text%2Fplain

I'm not aware of checksums for 0.1.0, but diffs looks ok.

Here is the ugly perl script I use:

http://mdounin.ru/hg/nginx-vendor-import/

Syntax:

./nginx-vendor-import.pl --repo <repository> --changes <path/to/CHANGES>

It expects distfiles and <repository> to be under current dir.  
You have to gunzip/untar last version before import to supply CHANGES 
file to script.  Script is ugly one, so please use with care (and 
read source before you do - this is the only docs available).

Please note: to reproduce imports on should use exactly (almost) 
same script runs, since CHANGES file aren't append-only and 
therefore changelog recorded in repository may not be the same for 
re-import with CHANGES from other versions.
