The only thing CVS server is missing is the remote user's name. This can be
sent via setting an environment variable (eg REMOTE_USER). Since I know of one
other authentication agent that sets this environment variable, one should be
able to use this agent by setting CVS_RSH to it. If one wanted to use another
authentication agent, one would set CVS_RSH to a script containing something
like:
ssh hostname "REMOTE_USER=$USER cvs server"
So, the only change to CVS would be to have the server use the value of
REMOTE_USER if it's set.
