Thanks!

Guess I should have seen that...

I wouldn't mind the option of being able to test BOTH one alpha AND one 
"real" release. I'd prefer one Makefile (to rule them all) without 
conditionals, e.g

GARNAME = xnee

GARVERSION = 3.07
GARVERSION_ALPHA = 3.07.91

MASTER_SITES = $(MASTER_GNU)
MASTER_SITES_ALPHA = $(MASTER_GNU_ALPHA)

MASTER_SUBDIR = xnee/
MASTER_SUBDIR_ALPHA = xnee-alpha/


....  Doing tests on nightly "CVS" dists is, IMHO, overkill in this case 
I think.
