Summary:  CVS setup documentation confusing

Original Submission:  Everyone who wants to use the CVS of any of my projects 
(me included), both anonymously and otherwise, are sending me email with 
questions. 

So I checked and found that I set my CVSROOT to
:ext:address@hidden:/webcvs

and it works fine, while the project CVS section says this:
:gserver:address@hidden:/webcvs/

and the FAQ says this:
address@hidden:/webcvs/

So they are all different, some work, some don't work for some people. I don't 
really know what the problem is, but everyone seems to have trouble with it 
starting out.

There's some error introduced in the cvs page yesterday, due to another 
bugfixe. 

Anyway, there are several way to use CVS since there are several protocol used :
anonymous cvs
cvs via ssh
cvs via kerberos

:gserver is usefull only to owner of a gnu.org kerberos account (few). For 
developers, the correct command is definitely
cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs co non-gnu/liblearn

(currently presented as cvs -z3 address@hidden:/webcvs/ co /non-gnu/liblearn
that is wrong)

The FAQ entry is correct.
