 -D is almost unusable with branches (I think there's a hack involving
 -j but I can't remember it).
 
 For single files it's easy enough to check out specific revisions (read
 the cvs log to find the revision numbers), and in this case it's easiest
 to work with the -current version (-current sio.c is identical with -2.2
 sio.c and the changes on 11/30/1996 aren't all together).
