On the down side, it's a beta and it says it connects with cvsweb, any idea
how that differs from connecting with CVS?  Just because it says it works
with CVSweb does not imply it will work with CVS.  CVS works here just find
but I was never able to get cvsweb to work here.  I went over to viewcvs
which works fine as long as you don't want to diff in the browser, but I
digress.

I look forward to hearing the results of your testing.

Another reader pointed to something called 'cvszilla'.  If this works as 
indicated, it will glue Bugzilla and CVS together "...at the hip".

I intend to test this app & will be delighted if it functions as noted. 
  I was about to go down that path myself (writing such a tool).
