Unfortunately, not too diligently.  :(  I'll try and put in what I have from 
my
latest checkout from Perforce (probably missing a few entries) and then post
again here.  One problem I have is getting CVS to add new files from a 'diff
-urpN <p4> <cvs>'.  I guess I'll just go through the log and see where it
mentions that it doesn't know what to do about a file.  File deletions may be 
a
problem, but I'll see what I can do.  ;)

Also, we'll no longer have the nice 'integrate' feature of Perforce.  :(
