I missed this one. Patches aren't needed. When a snapshot is deployed a
mapping created which creates a pointer:

http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/commons-jelly/jars/commons-jelly-snapshot-version

So the version stated in that file is what the snapshot corresponds to
if you wish to resolve it.

I made a tool for the last maven release that uses these mappings to
interactively resolve all snapshots in a project.xml file. You can
actually do this interactively or just let maven go to town and do it
for you.

We are actually trying to build things too, we realize snapshots can be
hazardous to your health but we know that. We have tried to make
snapshots convenient to use during development and easy to resolve for
release.
