Yes, I know cvsweb has not been touched in eight years. But it is still 
included in the major Linux distros (and FreeBSD too, I guess). So, for 
the benefit of anybody who might stumble into the same problem, I 
decided to publish my findings and the fix in a place where they can be 
found by someone who is looking for a solution. That's also why I 
included the keywords at the end of the message.

I now see that apparently search engines are not welcome to index the 
mailing list archives, so my effort was somewhat in vain.

Thanks for the tip, but our team will be migrating our repository from 
CVS to Git as soon as possible. This could take a while, but we can live 
with the current version of cvsweb in the meantime.
