Ah, thank you for brining that to my attention.

Actually, these tarballs, as far as I can see, do contain some code:
in the algorithms/<language>/ directories, the generated stemmer
sources can be found.  So, it's actually a bit worse than you say; the
description on the download page says:

 This contains all the source code for snowball (but not the generated
source files) ...

whereas, actually the truth would be:

 This contains the generated stemmer source files, but not the
snowball compiler or libstemmer.

I think the easiest fix is just to change the description, which I'll
do shortly, since the snowball compiler and libstemmer can be found in
the 3rd tarball.
