I think I agree with David on this. Though I'd vote to add a 'Legacy'
for the current 4118 build and make a snapshot before the class-path
changes for the 'Release'
It'd be really nice if the labels for the build actually mean
something rather than 'stable' == 'old and untouched', 'nightly' ==
'use this one if you want bug fixes and new features'.
