It is my intention to do this with the update to v2.4.2, and was thinking
of doing this with this commit... but frankly I was afraid of really
screwing things up.  I've never done a move like this before in CVS.  How
to keep the history?

Can't Peter simply copy the cpio dir to contrib/ ?
Then I could cleanup by ``cvs rm'' the gnu version for HEAD in
gnu/usr.bin and fixup the Makefiles, etc...

I want to import v2_4_2 today (or tomarrow), but need a little help with
the steps to doing the merge w/o really messing up the repository.
