My only concern about daily or weekly snapshots is version control. It won't be long before various different versions of executables start circulating, resulting in possibly bogus bug reports (e.g. executables run with the wrong datafiles) and general confusion. This can still happen obviously, since the source is open, but at least we don't have to support home made builds not originating from the official sites.
On the plus side, weekly snapshots means more people testing, which can lead to quicker development. Not sure how easy it can be to set up an automated build system for Windows, though.
