I like to use a symbolic tag if one is available.  But if that tag (and its
ilk?) is going to be deleted I certainly don't want to use it.  

r211c1 won't hit the latest EditorWindow (or the bug you just fixed in
PyShell), so I guess a date rev is the way to go.  They can have problems
unless everyone remembers to specify GMT. I forgot to do that when I did the 
9 Mar 2000 export.  I used -D 2000-03-09 23:59 and actually got 
2000-03-10 03:59 GMT.

Speaking of 2.1.1, IDLE help is not working on Linux because setup.py doesn't
install the help.txt file.  I submitted a trivial patch on this (422471) a
couple of months ago.
