Create a beta that is released now and then release one once (or

Fortran developers or some interesting C++ developers using it. We
can write a little thing up on why we are doing the beta, C++0x
support, more fortran support and vectorizer turned on by default at
-O3.
I would like this. It's common for snapshots to fail to build (at
least on my machines), which is definitely a discouragement from
trying them too often, and by the time the RCs hit it's way too late
to do much about any problems but file a bug and hope it gets fixed in
the next release.
I'd suggest we are close to a beta state right now, so if it fails to
build there ought to be a high priority PR opened.
