+	and need to be, compatible between cvs versions).

-This "contrib" directory is a place holder for code/scripts sent to
-me by contributors around the world.  This README file will be kept
-up-to-date from release to release.  BUT, I must point out that these
-contributions are really, REALLY UNSUPPORTED.  In fact, I probably
-don't even know what they do.  Nor do I guarantee to have tried them,
-or ported them to work with this CVS distribution.  If you have questions,
-you might contact the author, but you should not necessarily expect
-a reply.  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK -- and all that stuff.

-"Unsupported" also means that noone has volunteered to accept and
-check in changes to this directory.  So submissions for new scripts to
-add here are unlikely to be accepted.  Suggested changes to the
-existing scripts here conceivably might, but that isn't clear either.
-The exception is pcl-cvs; that is more actively maintained (see
-pcl-cvs/README).  If you have some software that works with CVS that
-you wish to offer it is suggested that you make it available by FTP or
-HTTP and then announce it on the info-cvs mailing list.  There is also
-a web page of software related to CVS at
-http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs-index.html which would presumably be
-willing to list your software.
