This does not need to really be a wrapper around cvs, folks should run
a tool 1 time to pick the best guess as to what server they should be
using, stick that value in thier cvsup file and be done with it. If
jdp calls for a ``this server is being overloaded please move'' folks
should rerun the selection tool and pick new servers. This latter
event happens 2 or 3 times a year, it is a waste to run this every time
you start up cvsup and can cause the grief if you change cvsup servers
in <1 hour due to the update policy of the mirrors.
This thread should die probably die...
