I always talk about directories because I am used to them instead of "proper"
brances so as to avoid possible conflicts/mismapping/etc... I know this is
not the "right" way for managing the CVS but it was a choice of 2 years ago
and I never had the chance/time to update it.

I am indeed not a CVS expert, if you think this SHOULD be done you could
(I hope) take in charge of planning the changes...

This is a good point. The easy way is to have the major release number
to be the "compatibility" number so as to have all the 1.xx.xx versions
of a module to be compatible, when major "incompatible" changes are made
then the major version number should be increased ( i.e. 2.xx.xx ).
This would express compatibility issues within a module history but not
with other modules...
This is just a dirty/ugly proposal and I am not sure this could be taken
into any consideration, anyway this is a problem we should address. Do
you (or anyone) has some solution ?
