There is a tagged version of acme in the CVS repository that
abbreviates tags using environment variables, but it's not
the default because doing it right requires letting the plumber
know about environment variables too.

I typically create some symlinks and just use those, although
it can get confusing when you end up with windows using
both the symlink'ed name and the real name.
