This must be a bug or feature in CVS. I'm not sure where the error
messages code from, but "board3d" is NOT empty... well, it is on the
main trunk, but not on the branch-board3d branch.

The directory html-images has been deleted after Gary implemented the
"export htmlimages .." function, but CVS obviously store the directory
so it's possible to restore the now obsolete files.

I don't get the same messages when I do "cvs update -P -d".... Was it a
very very old copy you tried to update?
