`$CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT'
For CVS 1.10 and older, setting this variable prevents CVS from
overwriting the `CVS/Root' file when the `-d' global option is
specified. Later versions of CVS do not rewrite `CVS/Root', so
`CVS_IGNORE_REMOTE_ROOT' has no effect.
Thanks, Martin. This would solve the problem with CVS/Root overriding.
Now if I only could figure out how to make the packages build...
