Hey Brian,

I'm looking at the download page at kicad-pcb.org and I don't see a link
to this page.  Am I missing something?  We should be pointing users here
rather than asking them to build from source in order to run bleeding
edge versions of KiCad.  Would someone please add a link to this site in
the "KiCad Bleeding Edge Version" section of the download page when you
get a chance?

Cheers,

Wayne
