Building from CVS often imposes more severe requirements than simply building from a release tarball. For example, GNU Troff (groff) doesn't keep *.info files in CVS; users building from CVS are required to install texinfo >= 4.8. Of course, this should be documented in some README file, which *is* kept in the CVS; (and yes, groff *does* fulfil this expectation).
