That's cool.  The only thing the nightlys gave in addition was older
versions, which in theory could be useful if trunk was broken, although
I suspect they were very rarely used in that way.

I wonder if github can give .zips of older versions...

Ha, very cool, you can do:

https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master@{5 days ago}.zip

"master@{5 days ago}.zip" is a horrible filename, and when unzipped it
yields: leo-editor-5dbbb1d1a6943c2380b17493a4fe92deb257245c/ which is
scary too, but given how infrequently older commits would be needed, it
does seem that the current snapshot system could be dropped in favor of
this.

Maybe http://leoeditor.com/download.html could have a link to
https://github.com/leo-editor/leo-editor/archive/master.zip and a link 
"you can also get older versions" which links to another page / section
of docs. at leoeditor.com which links to 1, 5, 10, 30, 90 day old
versions and explains what weird filenames you'll be getting.

That sound reasonable to everyone?

Cheers -Terry
