Those builds are binairies created from the source. But outside the normal versions.

OpenTTD is officially at version 0.4.0.1. But the Nightlies have more features because it's newer, but possibly is more unstable.

Exactly, except the subsidiaries patch is not official yet. The nightlies are the official developpement version of OTTD.

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you. Spoilers and bodykits are how much of the wall you take with you. Rollcages and windownets are how much of a mess you leave on the wall.

Current development is taing place in SVN. The "Nightlies" are regular (usually once a day) builds taken from SVN.
