You can get the source for any version using anoncvs or cvsup. Try
$ cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/cvs co -rRELENG_3_1_0_RELEASE \
src/...
<fx: tries it>. It seems that doesn't work any more <sigh>. If you
don't want much, you could use cvsweb, if you want all of the source
(or a major part, e.g. all of src/lib), use cvsup. (With cvsweb, find
the revision which has "RELENG_3_1_0_RELEASE" in the cvs tags list,
and download that.) If you don't want much, I could easily mail it to
you. What bits do you want?
