I had some reservations over calling something 5.1 but I think I've 
overcome that fear. So gdb/snapshots/5.1-branch (I think release and gdb 
are redundant).

I'll tweek the scripts for this ready for tonight.

Next question is gdb/snapshots/gdb+dejagnu.tar.bz2.

Hmm, at present it is a hard link :-/  If it was a symlink would ftp 
shadow systems be smart enough to copy the link and not the file?

Eliminate this and GDB can run nightly snaps of both the 5.1-branch and 
current without a significant increase in shadow size.
