cvs2svn doesn't work on a remote repository or a copy, so the the
repository source tree with the RCS files in it has to be downloaded.
Fortunately SourceForge generates nightly tarballs of the whole thing.

I converted the entire Webware CVS repository and tested it on my own server
and posted it here:

http://eradman.com/pub/Webware-svn.tar.gz

Anyone willing to test the Subversion conversion can access my test
repository here:

svn://eradman.com/Webware

If someone with administrative access would like to give me permission I'll set
it up. I also listed the steps I used to convert the repository below in case a
step in this process needs to be repeated.
