I'm particularly interested in whether anyone will die (well,
maybe not die exactly... but if you're life will be considerably
worse, at least) if we *don't* provide a read-only cvs mirror of
that git repository...

Git provides tools that can talk to a cvs client, so it isn't
difficult for us to do... but we can spend the time saved in
maintaining it on actual libtool development if everyone is
happy to download a nightly snapshot, or else type:

   git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/libtool.git

instead of

   cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/sources/libtool  
co libtool

Cheers,
        Gary
