Hmm, all we want is to have the symbolic tag of the CVS version released, to be 
stored in a file on the release server. This is so that deployment verification 
can be automated across a cluster.

Have you heard of a CVS variable ( called, say, "$tag$" ? :) that holds the tag, 
if any, assigned to the the main branch.

I was thinking of using variable replacement, but the only variables seem to be 
RCS ones.
