I waffle on this. On one hand, it makes sense to tag the snapshots somehow,
but on the other, they are tagged in their filename, and modifying the
contents of the tarball would mean they no longer reflected the actual CVS
code as it was when the snapshot was made. In a very trivial way, of
course, but still.

Also, the snapshots are a convenience for people who can't or don't want
to use CVS, not really an officially supported release, so from our
perspective letting people know exactly what snapshot they have doesn't do
us much good - we want them to have the latest one.

Other opinions?
