Rod asked me to disable the build of CVS until we test the bits a bit
more, but it does compile and my testing have been positive.  If you
want to risk it go ahead and build/install it.

However, since CVS is critical to many folks, he felt it would be unsafe
to have folks use the new binary until it was beat on a bit more.

On that note, J.T. Conklin has done alot of work in making this version
of CVS *much* faster on 4.4BSD derived systems.  Also, he has made some
additional speedups that I will be putting in CVS after 2.1 which speed
it up even more.  Since CVS is such a big bottleneck for all of our
operations, I felt getting a faster version of CVS certainly couldn't
hurt.

If you can, please test this out on your machines.  I don't forsee any
problems whatsoever, but it's better to be safe than sorry.  I'd like to
see freefall get updated binaries in the next couple weeks.
