Who said you had to have all of your tags in one basket? You need to read the
book, specifically:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch05s04.html#svn-ch-5-sect-6.1

You can structure your repository any way you want. If your libraries are all
very independent of each other, each can be a "top-level" project; if they are
closely related, you can group them. You can do whatever you want.

The natual build numbers are equivalent to tags, see:

$ svn ls http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags
0.10.0/
0.10.1/
0.10.2/
...
0.34.0/
0.35.0/
0.35.1/
0.36.0/
0.37.0/
...
1.0.0/
1.0.0-beta1/
1.0.1/

The revision numbers are almost never used by themselves, except for development
releases (so you can tell exactly when someone built against trunk, for example).
