It is our script, but "tags" is not an artifact created by the build scripts
since make_{c|e}tags isn't part of the build so I'm not convinced we should
bother. If we do I'm sure there are many other scripts in src/tools which
generate files we don't track (like make_mkid, which admittedly probably hasn't
been executed by anyone in a decade or so).
