But you *won't* be living without tags! It's not like you don't get them if
you don't put the thing into the file! (wow, I just wrote a triple
negative) Ever tried doing "cvs status" on a file? You're even using
WinCVS---it shows you the tags right there in the directory listing...

Ok, write a test case for that :) I'm not sure I understand what it would
be supposed to test, though (that quantlib.hpp exists? That the files it
includes exist?)
