If one attempts to build the latest alpha from just the source that is 
bundled in the bz2 files, the build will fail attempting to make 
version.cc in winsup.

More specifically, if the code was extracted from the archive into an 
empty directory, there will be an error looking for CVS information.  
This would not occur if the archive was extracted over an extant 
directory that contained CVS directories or if the code was gotten out 
of CVS.

A patch is attached that addresses this.

P.S. Geoff could you add me to the mailing list?
