CVS move

[Jim Gettys]

Turns out that there are only a few packages with static
limits on the number of simultaneous groups: cvs is one of them.
There is one other, but I don't remember off hand.

Linux 2.5/2.6 lifts this restriction; the apps still need
patching of course to fix those static limits internal to those
apps.
