But this requires cvsup, which you have to admit, as a Modula program,
is pretty weird. Sure people can get cvsup binaries, but we are an open
source project, and it is nice to rely on standard tools. I realize the
cvsup source is distributed, but as it is written in Modula, the source
code is pretty close to useless. I think we have to offer anoncvs.
