gEDA-dev: libgeda library version & stable branch

Hi All,

Here's the plan going forward:

* I do want a stable/unstable branch/release arrangement going forward.

* I do not want to use CVS to maintain this though.

* So, I am going to go ahead and setup a git repository as the official
  repository of gEDA/gaf.

* But, for those diehard CVS fans out there, I will run a git-cvsserver
  which will does CVS as the frontend and git as the backend.
  (http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-cvsserver.html)

* CVS HEAD development can continue going forward as is (at least until
  we transition over to this stable/unstable arrangement).

* The stable branch:

	* The stable branch will be based off 20070526 and will support
	  guile-1.6.x and guile-1.8.x.

	* Stable releases will be called 1.0-RELEASEDATE.

	* Stable branch checkins will be limited to bug fixes and _minor_
  	  functional improvements/fixes.

* Unstable branches:

	* The unstable branches will support guile-1.8.x only.
	  I successfully built and tested guile-1.8.x and its Dependencies
	  on RedHat 7.2 this morning.

	* Unstable releases will be called 1.1-RELEASEDATE.

	* The checkin policy for the unstable branch checkins hasn't
	  been decided yet.  

* All of this will run on a different server (not at SEUL).

* I plan on working on this during the next code sprint (next week!) and
  it won't be implemented until after the code sprint completes.

-Ales
