If anyone feels like rewording that section, it might be a good time to
mention the peculiarities of the sourceware CVS module setup: that one
cannot do a normal "cvs up" on the toplevel of the checkout (unless you
want to get the whole uberbaum that is); and that "co -d dir foo"
doesn't work, you have to check it out as src and then rename it.

So about that move to subversion....
