Could someone remove these files from the FTP site???  They appear to 
only cause confusion and wasted time.  Or at least file them under 
"old".

And please change the web site:
"Source for the latest release can always be downloaded from 
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads".

This statement gives the false impression that the files you find 
there are the current version.

Perhaps it should read:
"Currently, numbered "releases" of buildroot are not maintained.  You 
may download the latest version via SVN or an archived daily snapshot 
as described below."
