pseudo modules

Hi all,

I have a need to allow certain projects using cvs to have access to (and
modify in their own branches) previously defined modules 'as at' a certain
point in time.

Having had bad experiences with projects using specific tags or branches of
modules and inadvertantly corrupting them (or simply using the wrong ones),
what I want to do is set up pseudo-modules that point to modules with a
specific revision tag, so that by checking out a project alias module all
of the components from the correct point in time are obtained, without the
user having to specify the component modules and version tags separately.

For instance, if we had a project TheBigProject which was aliased in the
modules files as consisting of LittleComponent1, LittleComponent2,
LittleComponent3, what I want to be able to do is specifiy through the
alias module which versions of the component projects should make up
TheBigProject, so that if I had another project TheOtherBigProject that
used the same components but at a later revision I could do this.

Any ideas?
