Re: binutils snapshot builds

Hi Mark.
Thanks for doing this!

I see that the name of the snapshot tarball for a version

  m4_define([BFD_VERSION], [2.42.50-fc12b44ec0e])

is

  binutils-2.42.50.tar.gz

What about having:

  binutils-2.42.50-fc12b44ec0e.tar.gz

This would allow for example to easily cache already downloaded
snapshots on the client side.

Also, would it be possible to have a file README (or LATEST or MANIFEST
or whatever) in the directory with a single line containing the name of
the tarball?  This would ease automation.

WDYT?
