Use the `CVSHeader' keyword instead of `Header'.  The CVSHeader
keyword expands to the relative path of the file in the CVS
repository.  See the CVS manual at
http://cvsman.com/cvs-1.12.12/cvs_100.php

CVS checkout `CVSROOT'.  Create a file called `options' in the working
copy of CVSROOT with the following contents:

tag=StupidProject=CVSHeader
tagexpand=iStupidProject

CVS add and commit `options'.  Now, only the `StupidProject' keyword
will be expanded, leaving other keywords unexpanded.  See:
