Perhaps, and this would be up to Edward to ok, bzr should be
recommended only for people who want to modify the code (or are simply
familiar with bzr), and the nightly .zips should be pointed to as the
way to run from the trunk.

In that vein, we should (a) get a proper URL for Leo, and (b) make the
official nightly .zip url http://www.leo-editor.org/nightly or
whatever, just so it doesn't break if http://www.greygreen.org/leo/
ever went away, even though I can see no reason that it should.
