what is that "full release"? those tarballs are just convient packs for 
those who don't know what to type after "git" command. 2.066.1 is 
officially landed in git HEAD some time ago, Iain just didn't wrote 
"whatsnew" for it (and Johannes wanted to land some ARM fixes). it's not 
"beta", at least not on x86. but is that release blah-blah really 
necessary to build the 2.066.1 version from official git?
