Now that it has matured somewhat, don't discourage questions about it
quite so strongly. Add note about snapshot building. # If you are building "official" snapshots, you need Edin's treasure-trove # of libraries/headers and the snapshot template

+h. Snapshot Building
+
+ If you want to set up an automated build that will tolerate
+ breakages in some of the modules, you can use the
+ --enable-snapshot-build configure option to generate a
+ makefile optimized for that purpose. A snapshot build will
+ switch the argument parser so that the default option for
+ configure switches that your don't specify will be set
+ to "shared". The effect of this is to turn on all options
+ unless you explicitly disable them. When you have configured
+ your snapshot build, you can use "nmake build-snap" to build
+ everything, ignoring build errors in individual extensions
+ or SAPI.
