I'd rather make the tool fit my way of working, rather than adjust my 
way of working to fit the tool.  :-)

Anyways...I think I figured it out (at least for GNU Emacs 21.3).  Add
this to ~/.emacs:

(add-hook 'vc-log-mode-hook '(lambda() (if (= (buffer-size) 0) (insert "
PR:             
Approved by:    
Reviewed by:    
"))))

Add other CVS template fields as desired.  Salt to taste.  Cook until 
golden brown.

Bruce.
