This really should not be needed.

Some places of work might call what you want to do 'theft' of
intellectual property, so be sure it okay with your employer first.

Why not? If it legit to do what you want, they should have no problem
helping you.

This has already been done. If you have debian, you can just install the
cvssuck package. Otherwise, look for CVSsuck on
cvs.m17n.org/~akr/cvssuck/ or check your favorite search engine.

Ask your IT folks if they can give you CVSup access to the repository.
