I think a snapshot should be exactly like a release tarball, i.e. it should include all the *.elc files etc. So one needs to build Emacs before creating a snapshot. In other words, a snapshot is NOT simply a checked-out CVS tree, it's a tarball like any release, except that it was made from a non-released code base.
