Substantially revise to handle the fact that Python CVS is no longer in a
...
file-system accessible repository. Add a little bit of smarts to convert
the cvsroot to an anonymous cvsroot the real one requires an authenticated
login to SourceForge; this avoids the SSH startup delay when doing the
checkout or export to get a fresh copy of the tree.
