IFAIK, it's a tarball of the CVSROOT, not the distribution. i.e. if 
you uncompress it, you get tons of *,v files that only CVS can deal 
with. This is meant for backuping your CVSROOT in case sourceforge's 
CVS repository crashes.

What I beleive David asked for is an automated 'make distcheck' 
distribution every night. I guess that this can be acheived by having 
a nightly cron job doing something like:
-----
#!/bin/sg
DATE=3D`/bin/date +%Y%m%d`
cvs update
make distcheck
mv lcdproc-*.tar.gz ~html/lcdproc-CVS${DATE}.tar.gz
-----

Maibe Will could set this cronjob on his SF account and put it 
directly on something like 
http://lcdproc.sf.net/lcdproc-CVS20010928.tar.gz
