I'm being slow on teh cvs->monotone conversion project I was looking 
into.  Once again, sorry.  Other things, ostly personal,  keep getting 
in the way.

One thing that's delaying it is that I see no point in doing the 
conversion while we're in the throes of getting a release out.

It looks as if the conversion, should we go through with it, will be 
one-way; that is, monotone will not conveniently pass updates on to cvs.
I don't know yet whether it will be possible to regularly pass cvs 
changes on to monotone, though.  It would be a lot easier if it were.
