Okie.  I had a brief look at this.

I think a shell script of wget lines (if they don't exist) and mv lines

At the moment the only place the version you need is documented is the
changelog of all the individual directories.

Sorry, I've not done a lot of xfce stuff lately.  I might get some time
towards the end of this week.
