I use CVS at work with the gserver method i.e. GSS api. At least I have a
setup where I can test your work.

Why ? Do we want to run kerberos KDC ? I don't think so, or at least it
is not necessary to run kerberized cvs. The KDC in our setup is a Win2k
Active Directory. For cvs you only need client libs and tools.

I may be interested to maintain this of course as time allows.
