From there you can scan through looking for the latest daily build date, as

of today that would be daily-20120724. Here is a direct link:

...

Of course, that date/link will change when there is a new build available.

Does anyone else see any value in symlinks on the server that would point to the latest directory/builds? IMO it could simplify project documentation and would simplify scripting solutions to pull the the latest version programmatically on non-*buntu platforms.

The most recent example would be: daily-latest/ --> daily-20120724/ chirp-daily-latest-installer.exe --> chirp-daily-20120724-installer.exe chirp-daily-latest-win32.zip --> chirp-daily-20120724-win32.zip chirp-daily-latest.app.zip --> chirp-daily-20120724.app.zip chirp-daily-latest.tar.gz --> chirp-daily-20120724.tar.gz

Under this model this kind of URL would always be valid: http://trac.chirp.danplanet.com/chirp_daily/daily-latest/chirp-daily-latest-...

This all assumes the dailies are published by a script that would be amenable to automagically updating the symlinks (delete the current links and make new ones to the new dailies). If it's done by hand then return on invested effort would be much less.
