Any way to do this without this presumption?  Would

cvs -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvsroot/gnulib \
        checkout gnulib/regex.{c,h}

do the trick in the script?

And presuming that it does: will an update on the whole Emacs
directory update those two files via their symlinks, from their
respective repositories?  Probably not, right?
