No.  The user at cvs.xemacs.org should be "xemacs", one account shared
by all users.  We do magic based on the SSH key to determine the CVS
user name.

You should use the CVSROOT variable (as in the -d option above),
which also will normally be recorded in CVS/Root, so you can use the
default, to handle CVS.  Some of our services are based on login user,
some are shared accounts, so you'll just have to deal with them on a
case-by-case basis for now.
