I tried out VC-dired, but it doesn't seem to be so convenient and
feature-rich as PCL-CVS.  OTOH, its dired-like appearance is quite good.

BTW, after trying VC-dired, it saved vc-dired-mode buffers to the
desktop file which failed during restoring.  Does this bug mean that
nobody uses VC-dired?  OK, more precisely, this means nobody uses
VC-dired with desktop.el :-)  I could install the following fix if
there are no objections.
