The snap is now called 'go' and makes use of the newly announced 'tracks',
with current tracks being 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8. If you don't specify a track
you'll get 1.7 for now, but 1.8 soon when that is released (possibly
tomorrow).

Now done, for 1.6, 1.7 and latest tracks. Hopefully soon I'll set up
autobuilds of tip going to edge.
