What does Tramp have to do with PCL-CVS or GUD mode?

Tramp is available via FTP and CVS.  Instructions can be found at
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/tramp/.  If you choose to use CVS,
then "cd" to your working directory and type "cvs update -dP".
That's enough to fetch the diffs to the most recent version and apply
them.
