Here is another change that should be done to the relevant Makefile's (just
doc/web/Makefile at the moment, although bin/make-rpms should probably get
this to): Test if CVSROOT is in the environment and fail, with an appropriate
complaint if it isn't. Something like this:
if [ -z "$CVSROOT" ]; then \
echo "you must set up CVS" >&2 \
exit 1 \
else \
... \
fi
