That's how I used to use them, too. But pcl-cvs started to break down
at one point, and I stopped using it; I used VC and command-line CVS.
I gather pcl-cvs's maintenance has picked up again.

However --- does pcl-cvs actually have a well-defined back-end
interface? The last time I worked on it, it had CVS-specific stuff
throughout.
