        :-) That would be ideal. Furthermore an existing field in the
database can be changed to be used for that purpose. The 'use docman' flag
for instance.

        Some people certainly still use it. Could you add a redirect
to cvs at the httpd.conf level to translate cvsweb to viewcvs ?

        Note that the gnudoc is not in savannah (yes, the last one :-). I 
postponed
this because there is planned migration of fp:/gd/gnuorg to CVS (some projects
created for this purpose) and gnudoc should be merged.
