As I said, I am unwilling to be an OEM of the NetBSD libraries.  What
will CVS or CTM do to provide me with a history of the changes?  I want
to know what code has changed, and why it has changed.  I don't see how
CTM or CVS will provide that for me automatically at this stage of the
game.

It *may* be possible for a utility to automatically pull out the changes
and commit messages at a later date, but *until* the libraries are
sync'd up, this will not work.  (And I don't want to be the one to write
this utility)
