I'd say the best way to determine this is with a clean install of
6.3... however, it's also noted that the author of cvsup and the
corresponding library (forget.. it starts with an `n' I think), hasn't
been maintaining the library nor cvsup for quite some time (1-2
years).

So, who knows what bugs may be lurking in cvsup...
