I experimentally started to provide bleeding-edge tarballs automatically
created from HEAD.

As you know, you need the latest Gauche already installed to build from git
repo.  It poses a problem if the latest release has issues to build on your
platform.  The issue may be addressed in the git repo, but you can't pull
and build it by yourself.  You need a specially built tarball, in which the
files that require working Gauche are all pre-generated.

Previously, if the issue is grave enough, I created "snapshot" tarballs
with a special version number, as "0.9.15-p1".  That is a manual process,
and it has its own version number and is installed separately.  We don't
want too many of them.

The bleeding-edge tarball has a unique tarball name but has the same
version number as the latest snapshot.   It is specifically for those who
need to install HEAD without having preinstalled Gauche.

The easiest way to install a bleeding-edge tarball is to use get-gauche.
The --version argument now accepts 'bleeding'.
