   The snapshots are created by 'make dist' right now, so it should be
   easy to test it by users.

FWIW, you could use `make snapshot' instead of `make dist', it will
make a `inetutils-DATE.tar.gz' tarball that extracts into
inetutils-DATE.

   I don't know how to include the CVS/ directories easily though.  If
   you write a Makefile target 'dist-with-cvs' to do it, I can modify
   my build scripts to invoke it.

Seems alot of work for something that simple, so I'll pass.  It was
mostly a `nice thing to have' deal when you end up testing inetutils,
and commit a patch, and want to do a quick update.

Thanks, cheers!
