there's a more simple way to check for latest builds ...
examine the daily snapshot download page source, there you find tags
from which you can very easily obtain latest tarball; f.e. I use in a
shell script:

SNAPURL="http://curl.haxx.se/snapshots/"
SNAPEXT="tar.bz2"
NEWEST=$(wget -q -O - ${SNAPURL} | sed -ne "s/^NEWEST ${SNAPEXT} //p")
test -z "${NEWEST}" && echo -e "ERROR: couldnt find 'NEWEST ${SNAPEXT}'
tag!" && exit 1
echo -e "Newest tarball is ${NEWEST}"
if test ! -f "${NEWEST}"; then
     echo -e "Downloading tarball ${NEWEST}"
     wget -q -O ${NEWEST} ${SNAPURL}${NEWEST}
     test $? -ne 0 && echo -e "ERROR: downloading tarball failed!" && exit 1
fi

if you prefer tar.gz then set SNAPEXT to this extension ...

another way is this script:
http://curl.haxx.se/dev/autocurl.txt

HTH, Gün.
