If you have the base package from CVS (which I assume) you can easily
check out whatever version you like without touching existing files:

  $ cvs co -r1.50 -p > preferences.xml-1.50

You can, of course, also update to the latest version (cvs up) and later
go back to any particular version (cvs up -r1.50) or a particular
date (cvs up -D "1 week ago") etc.

If you don't have the base package yet, you can check out the outmost
level only and then work through the directories level for level, so
that you don't have to check out the whole package at once:

  $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot login
  $ cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot co -l
  ...

Don't know what exactly you want, but yes. You can do almost everything
with cvs.  :-)

Makefiles aren't in CVS anyway. If I want anything like that, I simply
duplicate the whole cvs directory, and then I only keep one up-to-date
and leave the other one alone. I can still update specific files or simply
copy them between the working dir and the local 'mirror'.
