You can, but you then need to put those changes back into CVS so the CVS 
maintainers pick up the changes too. I think I can do that for you.

(I'm still planning to set up bidirectional mirroring between Perforce and 
CVS, but time for recreational work is in short supply.)

If it'd make life easier for you I can widen your window for this work by 
temporarily reducing the frequency that the devel tarball is updated - or 
even put it on hold altogether. That way I could give you as much time as you 
need to get it done in all sections and we'll just issue a refreshed build 
when it's all done.

Sorry, our ADSL line was dead when I got in this morning. We're OK again now.
