The easiest way to do an update is to cd into the "pnet", "pnetlib", etc 
directories and type "cvs -z3 update -d".

You shouldn't need to start over each time, although it is recommended that 
you regularly do "make distclean", "./auto_gen.sh", and "./configure", since 
sometimes the build system changes enough to require a reconfig.

The '?' lines refer to files that are in your local copy, but not the CVS 
server.  These are normally generated by the build process itself, so they 
are OK.  Most such files are referenced in the ".cvsignore" files, but some 
may have slipped through.  Let us know which ones and we'll try to fix 
".cvsignore" appropriately.

Cheers,
