[Chicken-users] Tweaks to egg-post-commit

I have modified the egg-post-commit program to make the “latest”
Subversion property of “tags” directories in egg directories in the
Subversion repository optional.  If it isn't present, egg-post-commit
will interpret sub-directories of “tags” as software versions and use
the greatest one (ignoring any entries it can't parse as software
versions).

A “software version” is a sequence of numbers separated by dots.  In
particular, “1.3f.0” and “1.0-3” are not software versions.

In consequence, one can simply remove the “latest” property in most
cases.  The only incentive to continue to use it would be to override
the default behaviour or to use versions in a format that doesn't
correspond to the one described in the previous paragraph.

Note that this change is entirely backwards compatible and
transparent.

I will now update the “eggs tutorial” documentation.

Alejo.
