gnupload --help examples

More about gnupload --help.

First, all the existing examples in gnupload --help use automake 1.8.2b.
This isn't either of rms' recommended version number schemes for test
releases.  Would you agree to changing to something generic, like
foobar-0.9.90?  I'm happy to send a patch if you like, although of
course it is a trivial text change.

Second, I don't understand the point of having both examples 2 and 3.
If I am maintaining foo-latest symlinks, then surely I would want them
for all releases on all sites.  So how about just dropping #2?  I also
don't understand (from the help message) why #3 accomplishes this and #2
doesn't.

For reference, here are the two examples:

    2. Same as above, but also create symbolic links to automake-latest.tar.*:
      gnupload --to sources.redhat.com:~ftp/pub/automake \\
               --to alpha.gnu.org:automake \\
               --symlink-regex \\
               automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2

    3. Symlink automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz to automake-latest.tar.gz and
    automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2 to automake-latest.tar.bz2 on both sites:

      gnupload --to sources.redhat.com:~ftp/pub/automake \\
               --to alpha.gnu.org:automake \\
               --symlink automake-1.8.2b.tar.gz automake-latest.tar.gz \\
                         automake-1.8.2b.tar.bz2 automake-latest.tar.bz2


Thanks,
Karl
