  Thanks, Al, this is very much appreciated!  As mjl pointed out
earlier, for cvs updates to actually gain some speed, somebody with root
permissions on cvs.netbsd.org needs to remove the (empty) 'files'
subdirectories in the repository.  At the moment, a 'cvs update -Pd'
creates all the 'files' directories, then detects they all are empty and
deletes them again.

  Cheers
