Instead cvsuping a given version, cvsup the cvs repo instead, so that way you
can keep up to date, but you have the choice about wether you update a given
file or not. The idea is that you checkout a give version of the code and then
mangle it however you like and get it working. Then you get CVS to generate the
diff's from your modifications which you send to a commiter who reviews it,
etc..

If you go this road, I'd recommend copying the CVS repo of a FreeBSD CD (if
you have one of course :) and then updating it.. Muuuuch quicker :)
