I'll admit this is an ugly hack I came up with when I put together the
dockapps webpage a while ago.

The update-dockapps.pl script in the dockapps repo identifies the
appropriate subdirectory at the appropriate commit and creates links for
the webpage which use repo.or.cz's snapshot feature to fetch a tarball.
 It has the nasty side effects of a not-very-useful filename/directory
and differing timestamps.

It is, however, easy to maintain and avoids having to host the tarballs
somewhere.

I'm definitely open to ideas for improvement.
