I would suggest that we just make a 0.9.99 branch, which will lead to
1.0, and leave the normal tree for trying new stuff for the 1.1.x cycle,
which should lead us to a 1.2.0 version.

I would also suggest, in light of this, that we take a kernel like
versioning system.

That way: current cvs ---------------> 1.1.x ---> 1.2.0
                 \ merge all | bug fixes
                  +-------> 0.9.99 --> 1.0.0 ---> 1.0.x (only bug fixes)

How do you feel about this?
