Thanks for the tip, it looks like a very thorough CVS client
implementation.  I'm sure it will be useful to me.

It looks like the library is in fact under LGPL, so you should be
able to use it, no?

If there is, I couldn't find it.  There's a module called
VCS::Cvs, but it's just a skeleton, and hasn't been touched in a
