so.. not at every 'lunar update' but only once a day! This was added to
make sure you don't hammer all the cvs servers (think xfree86 cvs!) 24
times a day for a new one, which is kinda futile.

we can timestamp every day, week, month or whatever in here, but daily
seems to be nice, because you lin these cvs modules to stay on the
cunning edge. 

if anyone has a better scheme fo this (no, I would not want to build
xfree86 from cvs every day) then I'm all for load balancing this (x
every week, openal every 3 days, xfce4 every day?)

touch /root/.cvspass seems to work. maybe I'll add it to the cvs code
