Comment(by naif):

 Can we make a symlinks directly on http://archive.torproject.org for
 example on:

 https://archive.torproject.org/tor-package-archive/vidalia-bundles/

 so that a third party application download the latest version?

 Another option for a third party is to look in the right directory at
 https://archive.torproject.org/, parse the HTML from the directory listing
 and download the tor version that match latest date available and match a
 specific file-name-pattern.

 However it would be a dirty hack that would break before or later, like
 doing data scraping with HTML parser rather than having official OpenData
 sources.
