guile: obsoleting /cvs

[Marius Vollmer]

Hi,

it used to be possible to check out Guile from two different CVS
locations.  One of them is going to be removed, so please make sure
that you are only using the one that will remain.

Details are below.

If you have write access to the repository, please tell me when you
have made the move.  Also tell me when you don't need to change
anything, so that I know when everybody is 'clean'.
