Cvsup & cvsupd on Linux

[mirrors tds.net]

After lots of digging and recompiling it appears to finally work.  We will
be able to maintain services.  I expect our mirror server will migrate to

Thanks for the suggestions and help everyone.

The former admin got it working on RHEL 4.5 with ezm3, I was unable to do
this.  And ezm3's page recommends using cm3.  So it was possible at one
point but doesn't want to play nice anymore.
