However, please do not make it a requirement to install various additional packages like auto* for CVS users, both for reasons of disk space on guest accounts and time to install these tools on various platforms. This would be a big loss for people like Kaveh and myself. Moreover, even if one is interested only in using snapshots, how about those using snap- shots via CVS?
