 I'll have to look at the CVS stuff, but as I recall from what I have seen, not
everyone has the ability to update the repository (anyone can grab).   So I
could limit the update access to those people whom I trust more in terms of
making bugfixes and the like.

 That was one question of mine - CVS would seem to work fine when smaller
patches/improvements are not being made, but would seem to be much more
difficult when very large changes are made (for example, changing the object
structures will result in significant changes to most every source file there
is).

  I can see if I can find something around here to put it on.  The maps might
be a good starting point - not likely that I will be making major changes, and
using CVS to only get updated maps is likely to save a lot more bandwidth than
grabbing the entire archive since it is very seldom more than a few dozen maps
actually change.
