OK, it looks like the ASF are already doing nightly tarballs,
direct from an SVN checkout:

  http://cvs.apache.org/snapshots/incubator-spamassassin/

In other words,

    - svn checkout
    - tar cfz nightly-YYYYMMDD.tar.gz ....

as opposed to our more complex

    - make documentation
    - make tardist
    - make zipdist
    - get "nice" version number
    - tag tardist, zipdist and a bz2 distro with version
    - gpg sign
    - sha1/md5 checksum

IMO I think ours is overkill, seeing as they already have one that'll
work just fine.  it's a bleeding-edge build, after all.   So I don't
think we need to migrate our current "update_devel" code.  votes?
