Yes. This does not happen with "checkout xconq-unix" or "checkout
xconq-win", only with "checkout xconq" which causes the BWidget directory
to be checked out twice (once for xconq-unix and once for xconq-win).

The key question is not why does cvs complain about the BWidget directory
being checked out twice, but rather why does it *not* complain about the
bitmaps, tcltk and sdl directories (also included in both xconq-unix and
xconq-win) being checked out twice?
