I believe once you login and checkout a module.  If you are in a directory
that you checked out you need only do cvs udpate -Pd.  The worse case you
only do the first line you pasted (the login) then do a cvs update -Pd.

It is a longer discussion that applies to many things like Zipcodes etc...
Where you can get the data at a "price" and not under a free distribution
license.  I think in ALL these instances we will want to start "free
services" where we use the IMDB, CDDB etc approach and that is let the
"people" populate the data and then offer it back freely.  However, that
is a much broader debate and we will cross the bridge as we come to it.
