An other related point: <http://snaps.cowiki.org/> claims to have snaps from
03. May 05 (that was the generation time). But this collides with the
internal version that is set in "htdocs/version.php" (as of today 02. May).
The version string in "version.php" is e.g. important for the (not yet
completely working) installer setup procedure.

I propose, we (you, pointing at Paul and Vish :) rethink the nightly builds
strategy to have less confused users.
