Actually, thats not true.

What you do need to do, however, is clone off the bits you really want. For
instance, you'll need to get the src, doc, and ports modules for, say 4.3
release, and then you'll have to import the code in to your own CVS repository,
which you'll have to point the release at.

I do this all the time. Its quite a bit of work to get it right (for instance,
CVS by default doesn't seem to import the .so files in the tree), but once
you get it, it works like a champ.
