I mean, if there's a way to know, what is the latest available snapshot?
If I want to write a script, that fetch [and install] one.
I can parse the /snapshots/ page, of course, but this is the least desirable
choice. For multiple reasons. I would like to have a single point, that could
refer to the very latest snapshot. Even if it is something like
/snapshots/x86/cygwin-inst-latest.tar.xz redirecting to
actual latest snapshot, that'd be quite enough.
