thank you.  i was pretty sure that those links to auto-generated
tarballs must exist, but once again i was visually fooled by a git
browser not highlighting its live links.  i scanned that sea of
black-on-white text, and saw it as "nothing to click here, move
along".

(for those new to git -- the links that ken pointed out don't point at
physical tarballs -- when you click, a tarball is created on the fly,
based on the tag that ken attached to that point in the git repo.)
