This does not need to really be a wrapper around cvs, folks should run a tool 1 time to pick the best guess as to what server they should be using, stick that value in thier cvsup file and be done with it. If jdp calls for a ``this server is being overloaded please move'' folks should rerun the selection tool and pick new servers. This latter event happens 2 or 3 times a year, it is a waste to run this every time you start up cvsup and can cause the grief if you change cvsup servers in <1 hour due to the update policy of the mirrors.
