Would it be possible to start tagging the releases in the Mercurial repository as they happen? It might be useful later down the road.

sounds like a good idea
BTW I am doing a build right now - what is in tip will bootstrap build until this build is posted

Hear, hear!
N.B. tags are a different beast in mercurial. Tags are stored in a version controlled file <repo>/.hgtags. A consequence of this design choice is that tags can be removed or reassigned from one changeset to another--this is often very useful but can bite you occasionally. I recommend the mercurial book's chapter on branchy development if you haven't already done so.
