Can you have the same tags across different modules in the same CVS
server? If so, that would work.

If, as it currently appears, we'll end up moving in all of plphp,
pljava, plr, then we might as well be consistent and offer all
procedural languages, with the possible exception of plpgsql,
exclusively as a separate tarball, to be released exactly when a server
release is done.

Of course, there are a bunch of build infrastructure issues to be worked
out, but let's settle on the tree structure first and then think about
the build issues. (But don't just move stuff and *then* think about
the build issues.)
