Okay, I can live with that... two points, though:

1. As long as we'll have to run a script anyway, a script which generates
the CVS directories on the fly would probably be about as easy as one to
convert the current ones, and could also be useful for those who still
have earlier source trees lying around.

2. If we're now including the CVS directories in the source tars, then
the 'tracking current with cvs' directions at
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/current/index.html (which are also
useful for importing a release into cvs for adding local modifications)
should be changed from '-I !' to '-I ! -I CVS' to prevent CVS directory
clashes.
