Yeah, http://examples.oreilly.com/cvs/ has the scripts for download. Be
advised that the scripts do not really deal with a CVSROOT/config with a
'LockDir=/path/name' option and that they really should be using the
full locking semantics with a '#cvs.lock' NOT '#cvslock' directory as
is used in the example script.
