They are snapshots of the current CVS. When we make a release we take the
current version of the relevant branch and (among other things) make a tarball
from it.

Since there have been no 1.1.0 or 1.0.2 releases yet these have not been
widely tested and should be regarded as experimental and not for use in
production environments.

Since there has been a 1.0.1 release the 1.0.1 snapshots should be treated as
near release quality.

There should be a 1.0.1b release soon fixing the problem but we need to
resolve how to address the SSL_OP_ALL issue first.
