I think I actually set that up once by hacking hardcoded values for 
CVS_SERVER & CVSROOT_DIRNAME into sanity.sh and commenting out a few 
tests that relied on a local, known, CVSROOT.  Given that, and the test 
case of different client and server executables provided by my recent 
overhaul of PROG/SPROG, it should be easily doable on a reusable basis, 
at least for most of the tests.
