Tidy is an application/library for fixing problems with HTML markup that
is depended on by a number of other projects.  However, tidy hasn't been
updated since about 2009 and does not provide release tarballs.  There's
only a CVS repo, and it seems impossible to download a tarball snapshot
of a specific revision.

Their homepage is here: http://tidy.sourceforge.net/

Debian hosts a tarball for their source package, but we probably don't
want to rely on that.

I'm not sure how to proceed.  Thoughts?
