Comment:

 We should not do symlinks. We should not do 'latest' releases. We could
 produce an RSS feed with the latest version of tor linked in it, assuming
 we can do this in wml automatically. Patches welcome. Another hideous
 option is a 301 redirect from latest-tor to the current version, this will
 break with mirrors.

 Frankly, I prefer to remove /dist entirely and just point at archive.tpo
 for all downloads and binaries. People can use bittorrent or the secure
 updater to get their binaries in this future.
