CVS has a feature called "alias modules" just for this purpose. Described
in the manual:
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_18.html#SEC156
Basically, shared files go into one (or more) directory/ies, and modules are
then defined to include that/those directory/ies with the regular module.
It doesn't use the specific word "shared," but that doesn't mean it isn't
intended for that purpose. It's kind of like "asynchronous i/o" versus
"overlapped i/o" -- they're just two terms for the same thing, although if
you use "overlapped" instead of "asynchronous" not everyone will know what
you're talking about. :)
