I'm parsecvs's maintainer now.  It's not in good shape; there is at
least one other known showstopper besides the build issue.  I would
strongly prefer to direct peoples' attention away from it until I
have time to fix it and cut a release.  This is not a distant 
prospect - two or three weeks out, maybe.

The priority that is between me and fixing parsecvs is getting (a)
cvsps and git-cvsimport to a non-broken state, and (b) having a sound
test suite in place so I *know* it's in a non-broken state. As previously
discussed, I will then apply that test suite to parsecvs.

Heiko, you can speed up the process by (a) adapting your tests for
the new cvsps test code, and (b) merging the fix you wrote so cvsps
would pass the t9603 test.  

The sooner I can get that out of the way, the sooner I will be avble
to pay serious attention to parsecvs.
