Good point, I have been supporting CVS in an environment which uses Wincvs 
and TortoiseCVS, and the "recursive add" functionalities in those are so 
helpfull that had forgotten cvs itself does not provide it.

What bothers me with "import" when used instead of "add" is the fact that it 
effectively creates a branch ; you might want to look at pulling the python 
script out of Wincvs, or even a korn/bash shell script should be quick to 
write to do the recursive add / commit, although, as you pointed out, maybe 
a bit slower than the import.
