The instructions for getting CVS to work are quite clear on the CVS page.
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8642
Once you download the source, you run ./autogen.sh from the source
directory, then configure as normal. Perhaps a nightly CVS snapshot build
wouldn't be a bad idea. I'd be happy to set this up unless there are any
objections.
