Well, yes and no. It provides a way for CVS to communicate with a
remote server... but, each client still has to reimplment the protocol
itself. It also doesn't allow for other programs to use a CVS server
(or reall, for that matter, the RCS file-format) as a storage mechanism
without redoing everything..
WinCVS and others could benefit greatly from the ability to link in the
latest CVS changes, no modification required. No shelling out to the
CVS executable itself, etc.
It just seems to make sense to me..

It won't be covered in the book. The source code has to be useful for
something, after all... :-)
