cvs

I've used cvs to get simulavrxx before.
Later I was told that that was not the latest and greatest.
Recent postings suggest that that has changed, but I wanted to be sure.
Is the latest cvs version also the one to
get if one wants to just use simulavrxx?

Thanks for the suggestion.

Does autoconf work now?
If so, with what versions?
My recollection is that autoconf is exteremely version-sensitive.
That always struck me as strange.
It would seem to defeat the purpose.
