Boy am I glad now ;)

Hmm ?
We have three servers.
Umm, well, actually only one right now:
ursula.gmcl.com.
BOTH cvs.winehq.com and rhlx01.fht-esslingen.de (ARRRGL !) are
down/unreachable.
Conclusion:
CVS servers are a terrible annoyance :-)
Oh, yet another configure check ?
Guess I'll have to upgrade to a dual P3-600 for the single purpose of
passing the configure checks...
But I think we don't have too much choice here.
BTW, is it possible to speed up configure checks e.g. by checking for several
things at the same time in one single check ?
