If I understand Greg's suggestion correctly, what he's talking about
is fairly independent of CVS vs SVN. It's just a matter of rewriting
a checkout command; everything else is the same.

However, we still need a configured tree around to make dist, because
we need to ship with pre-built documentation, which means running
texinfo & friends. So I'm not sure yet whether it's a win or not.

Either way, there will be some changes made to the dist system after
we switch to SVN hosting.
