Instructions to download nightly builds of selenium RC

New features and bug fixes are added regularly to the nightly builds and finally after a bunch of them has been incorporated a new version of selenium is released. It can be a long while before a new release comes out some times it can be as long as a year. If you can't wait that long for a bug fix or a new feature then you would want to get hold of the latest nightly build. As the name suggests such a build is posted in the public repository every night. Sadly downloading a nightly-build of selenium RC is not as easy and straightforward as it should be. It can be very confusing and frustrating especially for someone who is new to the world of selenium.
