Or we could continue with the 1.99.x mark of CVS and clearly tag each as a 
pre-release:
1.99-pre1 etc. (pilot-link does it this way).

This, to me, indicates that it is a test/bugfix build only. 1.9.0 looks more 
like a normal release.

Do all the tests work now? If we can do a make distcheck then it would be 
possible to automate it - I do this already for cashutil. I check in changes 
and then build it to a make distcheck on the server. Naturally, this is a 
quiet server! (and cashutil is a much smaller codebase!)
