How did You pull things out of CVS?
I found out (the hard way) that You need to use "cvs checkout ..." since in
CVSROOT/modules there are a lot of definitions that redefine modules 
to be sum of other ones.
Apparently using "cvs update ..." or similar commands does *not* follow
said rules.
I'm sending this to the list because I'm still a little confused about these
schemas and I would like someone more knowledgeble to comment
on those.
I'm willing to summarize and try to write some Mini-HOWTO, if this
is useful.
