Now that's funny! When I was working out my little bit of bash
cleverness, I was thinking, "gee, this would be so much easier if
Carsten had linked the newest version of the tarball to some static
name."

And of course he had.

I hadn't thought he had, because an ls in lftp does not show the
link. So I _assumed_ (hah! serves me right!) that Carsten had not made
the link.

But, I think my solution was pretty clever, in a completely
unnecessary way.
