It makes some sense.  I was confused for a while because Ed mentioned
that he was using pypy-0.9.0... but of course, even if you check out
the 0.9.0 tag (Ed, is this what you did?), you get the trunk py lib,
because of the way svn:externals work.  I guess the release procedures
should include doing something about that, like svn cp-ing a
particular snapshot of the py lib into the tag.

Cheers,
