i guess it would be a good idea to tag cvs from time to time when a
revision is considered to be stable. users could check out the last
stable revision or adhere to the latest cutting edge.

on the other hand it places a burden on james and other developers to
determine _when_ a new release should be made; i'm quite in favour of
how things work currently: when a bug is fixed, you have the fix in
your local copy asap (apart from sourceforge synchronicity issues).
