Yes I could, now I'm calling CVS binary from perl, once. With
this method I'm calling perl/python script inside perl, once. The
program speed is currently bound by cvs checkout speed, so I guess
even though I'd replace CVS binary calling to perl/python script
it might still be faster.
But to be honest, it's seems more attractive to me to write
the whole shebang in single python program, as it appears
python binding supports catting to an array.
