Yes, this is correct. Please remove this (and any other) references to  
it.

The problem you ran in to shows what stops us from doing this: we  
would first need to set up infrastructure to do automatic daily builds  
before we could package things up. Especially Windows would be a  
headache, but even setting it up for only Linux/MacOSX would require  
at least a week or so, and we simply don't have the time for that...

So let me turn this into a plea for help: if anyone has experience  
with setting up a simple compile/build/distribute farm, and if you're  
willing to help us do this: please speak up!
