I'm running the same staticly linked cvsup binary on all my boxes, 2.1.x, 2.2.x and -current machines. That way I don't need the seperate modula libraries and I don't have to recompile the monster. The source is available, so I can recompile if I have to, but up to know it hasn't been necesary. BTW, I'm thinking of using it here internally to distribute some of our source.
