Consider me asked nicely. It was only an extra 4 lines, even. However, I
did do one thing to make my life easier - I added a tag in the CVS
repository for 0.7.11. The tag is called 'release-version-0-7-11' ('.' is
not allowed in tag names). This tag is present in expat, wv and abi (and
will be present in the other modules once I get some authentication issues
worked out). So, from now on, we should create tags whenever we release a
new version.
Remember, to learn about tags (or about the rest of CVS) read the book at
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com. It's worth it.
