 Installing from a precompiled snapshot

-We do not yet have any proper releases as such, but every day a
-program automatically clones the Git repository, builds the compiler,
-and packages a simple tarball containing the resulting binaries, built
-manpages, and a simple ``Makefile`` for installing.  The implication
-is that these tarballs are not vetted in any way, nor more stable than
-Git HEAD at any particular moment in time.  They are provided merely
-for users who are unable or unwilling to compile Futhark themselves.
+Tarballs of binary releases can be `found online
