Acknowledged. I thought I might kill two birds with one stone, and
characteristically took the hard way (requiring, I guess, a bigger stone).
I thought if I could move the nightly snapshot to the compile farm, it
would have a more stable home than it has now. (It's in my house, but my
attention drifts when I'm not home.) But, not only are the autotools
lacking, there's the jade issue, too. So, ixnay on the armfay.
I'll do the branch tonight, and prepare a release (candidate)
announcement. They might not go out until tomorrow, depending on what
else happens tonight.
