The ctags program is now detected at configuration time (this program
sometimes has different names on different systems) and now 'make tags'
should work out of the box for all the variations that I'm aware of

situation as of r22321. If noone reports any other variants in the
next three days then I'll close this ticket.

There's a catch on FreeBSD. There is a ctags included in the base
distribution of FreeBSD but it doesn't support the arguments that
exuberant ctags supports. You can go to
<http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?
query=ctags&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=FreeBSD+6.2-
RELEASE&format=html> to read more about the one installed in the base
system. But in ports, it's possible to install exuberant ctags but
it's installed as exctags. The base ctags does work, but it just
requires different calling.

Then update your MANIFEST. I find this happens when I've done an svn
update, gotten a conflict in the MANIFEST and failed to resolve the
conflict. The configuration step gags on the <<<.
That's probably due to a conflict between your local copy and the
servers copy and svn can't merge them cleanly. When you updated, you
likely say a "C" instead of a "U" or a "G". It's the annoying thing
about having local modifications, hoping no one conflicts with your
local modifications. Running `svn status` should show "C".
