Well, it's people compiling from source, so I guess we can assume some
amount of cluefulness? I think perhaps it'd be okay to say "go here
and then navigate to the proper sub-page for your version".

Doesn't really help people working from git, I think, because the
master branch is always going to claim to be "devel" even when you
rewind it to some old state. Maybe we can assume people doing
such a thing have even more clue ... but on the whole I'd rather
not add the additional complication.
