The question is how to do it such that  the *,v files are recognized
correctly by the new system?
I tried just adding the *,v files into cvs via cvs add and cvs update; but
it did not recognize that the special nature of the files;
i.e. I ended up having a bunch of  *,v,v files.

Would untarring the file under CVSROOT and editing the modules file work ?
