-K <key>=<value> is easy enough to do, and seems mnemonical enough.
(Then change the makefiles to have "-K category=${META_CATEGORY}"
and whatnot.)
This doesn't get added to the mtree files, though. I played with changing
mtree (well, nmtree), but I was thrown by the fact that it wasn't hierarchical --
that is, adding a tag/label/whatever at one level didn't automatically percolate
its way down. So I got rid of those changes.
