In the CVSROOT/modules file, define your module like so:
myproj -o "ln -s bar foo" myproj
Hmm, it looks like the program named by -o must be
a script (or other program) that takes one argument (the
module name). It is not clear if the script will be run
before or after the module is checked out...
(see man 5 cvs)
Another possibility is to define something in the cvswrappers
file.
I'm not all that familiar with using cvs to do these things,
as in the projects I've worked on we used dependencies in makefiles
to ensure that links were present. So that is another possibility
for you to consider, if you are already using makefiles.
