While having a tagging convension is important, what's more important is
that we have a file which documents *what* all of the tags are, and what
they mean.  For the patchlevels, it should contain what PR's each
patchlevel fixes, etc.  For private snapshots, it would contain an
explanation of who that private snapshot was given to, etc.

It's not clear whether this should be started in the CVS repository or
not, since it contains meta-data about the CVS tags themselves.  I don't
think this should be a problem, though.  I propose we create a file in
the top-level of the CVS tree, called "cvs-tags".

Comments?
