[Fwd: Socks support in CVS]

[Derek Robert Price]

 Anyone else have an opinion on or want to handle this?  I haven't 
dealt with SOCKS in 6 years and my knowledge was pretty peripheral back 
then.

Derek,

I have modified the stable version of CVS to make use of socks v4
proxy. This way cvs can be used on windows to checkout cvs
repositories outside a firewall.

The change is fairly small (Makefile.am, configure.in, client.c,
socks.c (new file)) and controlled via a new configuration option:
--enable-socks. I would like to know if you would be interested in
incorporating these in the unstable code tree.

Cheers

Niko
