Moreover, if you put it in a /*-style comment, people like me
won't break the build as a result of cut-and-paste-o's that happen
after merging and testing.  Whups.  Thanks for fixing it, David.

Personally, I'd actually prefer that the second set of tags stay
deleted.  I don't know how easy they are to manage with P4, but
they're a PITA to do manually with CVS.  The CVS logs ought to be
sufficient to see what changes need to be merged, without having
the extra tag.
