   1. -Wall is always enabled by default when using Rock cmake macros
   2. by default, packages are built in CMake's Debug mode
   3. if the needs_opt tag is used, it is built in RelWithDebInfo (O1 
and debug info). Less useful for debugging, but some packages get so 
much of a performance hit when optimization is turned off that it might 
be required.
   4. if the stable tag is used, it is built in Release mode (O3 and no 
debug info)

The rest of the tags were meant to make the package collection search 
easier. However, we never did fill them ...
