Okay, so with tag=. I can build the release packages (or world) right
in prefix/src; and without I can checkout sources from local filesystem
pository, modify and build locally, neat. Is it okay to have both cvs
src and release src in the same prefix? If so can it be done in one
supfile or do I need two?

Thanks for pointing to the CDROM README, I hadn't seen that.

Excellent, fixed for me too... makes me feel silly not noticing that the
second time, after I read it the first time through. Looks like there is
a tip in the README which might work without reinstalling the base...
