I think I prefer it uncommented, but on a line of its own so it's
easier to comment out:

    *default delete use-rel-suffix
    *default umask=002

That would reduce the number of reports I get about zillions of
SetAttr messages from people who run CVSup under varying umasks.

The README file in the examples/cvsup directory should be updated
to say that the supfiles work for versions 16.0 and later.  Earlier
versions didn't support the umask option.

The comments you suggested for the crypto collections are a good idea
too.  My only suggestion there would be to change them a little bit
so it's clear that, for example, Kerberos is in src-crypto *perhaps
along with other stuff*.  In other words, the src-crypto tree isn't
defined by the fact that it contains Kerberos; it just so happens that
Kerberos is the main thing in there currently.  Likewise for DES and
src-secure, though maybe Mark Murray should weigh in on exactly what
does define that collection.

There should be a similar comment for the new src-sys-crypto
collection, such as "Export-restricted kernel code."

I'm kind of backlogged at the moment, and now I have to start jury
duty tomorrow (ick).  If some other committer has time to make these
changes, there certainly won't be any complaints from me. :-)
