There is a LOT of stuff in the tree, for example Bugzilla and Mozbot are
in there. Also, a lot of the stuff is not on the HEAD but is on branches,
to allow easier modularity and so on, for example libpr0n (the image
library) and NSPR (the portable runtime library) are not in
"SeamonkeyAll", if I recall correctly.

The makefile I mentioned:
cvs co mozilla/client.mak
nmake -f client.mak pull_all
...will do it for you, including taking into account all the side files on
different branches and so on.

Now you see why we don't recommend that! :-)

Nope, that script just does an update. Any changes will be kept. Basically
it does a "cvs up" in all the relevant directories, branches, and so on.
