Not sure I understand this.  How could that put the changes
I made to file X into the new vendor version of X?

What would importing the stuff with something like 
cvs import -b 1.1.3 ... do?

Currently, I am thinking of making a branch at the current
HEAD, then import as usual.  That way I have at least a chance
to easily get a sandbox of the old version.  BTW, I know which
sandboxes exist so I am not very much concerned with concurrency.
