Actually, I don't think the "5.5.1-29.1" form is an option because after
regenerating lisp/finder-inf.el and running M-x list-packages, the
Version column shows something like "5.5.1snapshot29.1" which might just
confuse people if they're used to associating "snapshot" with elpa-devel
tarballs and the version on HEAD (5.6-git).

So I guess I'll just install the attached (which is basically the last
patch minus the Info-loading stuff) in the next day or so unless anyone
interjects beforehand. Thanks.
