Is there an existing way to tell the client to connect to a
different port on a CVSROOT-basis?  CVS_AUTH_PORT won't cut it for me,
unless I compile different versions of the cvs client for each port
I want to connect to (ick).

    To be specific, I'm stuck behind a firewall.  We do have a machine
that we can telnet to, and then telnet out from there.  I've written a
program that connects to a local port on my machine.  When it receives a
connection, it connects to the gateway, logs in, and then connects out
from there.  It then relays all traffic, similar to netcat.

    It's been tricky, but I have it working for telnet, ssh, cvs, and
presumably anything else.  What that means is that I set up a local port
for each remote machine and port I want to connect to.  If I want to
access more than one CVS server, it need to be able to point the cvs
client to the specific local port.

    Please let me know if this is possible.  Since it doesn't seem to
be, I'm hacking my client right now (gotta love open source!).
