We have a problem.  The removal of "tags" in the directory hierarchy
breaks setup-download.scm's locate-egg/local, which is used by
gather-egg-information.

gather-egg-information is used by the make-egg-index script (/egg-index
is currently broken) and salmonella, at least (there are probably more
users).

I tried to work around that issue by creating links from "tags" to ".",
but that doesn't work, since locate-egg/local tries to determine the
latest egg versions using version>=?, which ends up pointing "tags" as
the most recent version ((version>=? "tags" "1.0") => #t).

I'm afraid we'll have to step back on the removal of the "tags"
directory.

Best wishes.
