Unfortunately it's not easy to build from Git unless you have a full
suite of autotools available.

I am thinking of creating the official 4.3 release any day now (I was
going to do it yesterday but got sidetracked).  I can instead create a
new release candidate if people feel it's warranted.


I've often wished there was a straightforward way to generate "nightly
builds" (at least for nights when there have been changes pushed) that
we could point people at.

I have no problems making them, I just am not sure where to publish
them.  Pushing them to alpha.gnu.org is a lot of overhead but maybe
that's the right place anyway.
