I committed a variation on your patch anyhow.  I added :extssh: as a 
simple synonym of the :ext: access method on both stable and feature to 
leave the $CVS_RSH processing intact.  I haven't
documented it anywhere but the NEWS file, as I really don't want this to 
confuse people.  Users of Eclipse may not even notice, except that their 
CVS command line client suddenly starts to interoperate with Eclipse 
workspaces.

I neglected tests since it this is a relatively unimportant change and 
most of its functionality will be tested by the tests of :ext:.

Derek
