Thanks for the info.  I'm not a CVS user, and it'll take me a while
to sort out what's required to run the basic distribution and what's
optional user-contributed stuff.  My intention was to install the
basic CVS stuff as the default and put the user-contrib stuff in
/usr/doc/cvs.  If you can help me sort this out, it'll speed up
a fix to the package.
