Yeah I saw that. I was able to checkout the tree, though why I couldn't
just do a "cvs checkout" the same way I can in all other cvs projects
(including GCC) still escapes me. Didn't see any mention of how to do a
"cvs update" (like I can in all other CVS projects) though.
Icidentally I tried to do a "cvs update" from the root and it started
pulling in all kinds of crazy crap that I don't think I wanted, so I
killed it.

Right, but once they're pulled, how do I keep them synced to CVS? If I
do that again, I lose all my changes, right?
