Okay, I definitely missed something embarrassingly obvious, but I think I may
still have a toe or two left uneaten... What barriers exist to a cvsup setup?
I'll gladly port the client and server if this is an issue.

Also, the existence of NetBSD-cvs/ should probably be in
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/index.html.

Currently the documentation recommends under "Tracking NetBSD-current with CVS"
that the user grab a copy of the source tree, make a CVS repository out of
it, SUP source changes, and then cvs import them.  If there is a way to SUP
the cvs files directly, then it should be added to the documentation.
