I've looked at the snapshot.  It uses Automake 1.9.6 and Autoconf
2.60.  Since I'd rather use 1.10 and 2.61 for 1.5.24, I preferred a
formal alpha.  I've now adjusted the URL for the branch-1-5 snapshot
to contain the string 1.5.23c in the name.  I assume the switch will
happen automatically with the next build?
