Yes, sometimes sources on the CVS doesn't compile under linux. It comes
from 2 main reasons:

1) Most of NeL developpement is done under Windows and rarely under linux. 
(Some network guys do it..). Sometimes, you're right, sources checked into
the CVS doesn't compile under linux, but very rarley under windows.
We have automatic rebuild systems at Nevrax, but sometimes errors pass thru.

2) The CVS is updated with a daily snapshot and not a stabilized / tested / 
compiled version.

But be sure that for our internal developement, the CVS is always consisting.
