Ugh, I can fix this, but:

a) I need to pull up your message on how write access to the bundles
work, since it's been a while since I touched anything (or I may just
send a patch to the list...)

b) I'm not sure what the best alternative is for the svn tag, it may
just be burning a revision into the source file on checkin and
remembering to update it manually on each commit. :-(
