The vast majorify of the diff is make debugging garbage that looks like
it was committed by accident.  I won't provided any detailed review
of the current patch except to say that there are a lot of apparently
redundent instances of setting META_CATEGORY in Makefiles and still
quite a lot of instances of .EXPORTVAR: META_CATEGORY.

I looked at that, and don't think it's the best way to go, but am still loo=
king.

Given that the current use of tags=3D is basically unconsumed, I still
don't understand why.

That seems like a good direction.
