According to Beth, the current (nightly build) can be found here:

 http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/pub/nightly/CURRENT/buildtools/

Location for the upcoming 1.5 release when that is available:

 http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.5/buildtools/

The tricky part is we don't have a solid location yet, only one being built 
from master. Perhaps we could link to an intermediary page with explanatory 
text that can link to the appropriate location.

Cheers,
Paul
