Hrmmm... not sure, but I lean towards the latter.  (It would be a
shame to freeze the trunk at this point, I think.)

We could either release a 0.x.0 tarball and label it "unstable", or
create the 0.x CVS branch and listen for bug reports on the CVS code
and/or binary snapshots until we think the 0.x branch is ready to be
called stable.

Cheers,
Gary.
