Peter Wemm b05543098c Import CVS-1.6.3-951211.. Basically, this is the cvs-1.6.2 release
plus a couple of minor changes..  

Some highlights of the new stuff that was not in the old version:
 - remote access support.. full checkout/commit/log/etc..
 - much improved dead file support..
 - speed improvements
 - better $CVSROOT handling
 - $Name$ support
 - support for a "cvsadmin" group to cut down rampant use of "cvs admin -o"
 - safer setuid/setgid support
 - many bugs fixed.. :-)
 - probably some new ones.. :-(
 - more that I cannot remember offhand..

.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES"
.TP
.SM CVSROOT
Should contain the full pathname to the root of the
.B cvs
source repository (where the
.SM RCS
files are kept). This information must be available to \fBcvs\fP for
most commands to execute; if
.SM CVSROOT
is not set, or if you wish to override it for one invocation, you can
supply it on the command line:
.` "cvs \-d \fIcvsroot cvs_command\fP\|.\|.\|."
You may not need to set
.SM CVSROOT
if your \fBcvs\fP binary has the right path compiled in; use
.` "cvs \-v"
to display all compiled-in paths.
