[Nel] CVS checkin by email

According to David Mentré:

+
+Well, if you want to be spammed continuously, that might be possible.
+I'll put something in the crontab to notify you every day :)
+
+Realistically, since you get full access to the development CVS tree,
+there is something done about every day in one part or another of the
+library. We do not have anything like the cvsup of FreeBSD so that you
+automatically would fetch the latest version everytime, but you can
+set a cron job if you like to to a cvs update every day around 23:00
+GMT. That's when we do a full resynchronise of the various CVS mirrors
+(in practice, the sync starts at 22:00 GMT, but you never know how long
+rsync will take across the 3 machines involved).
+
+We will post announces when there is something relatively major commited
+(like the day you'll get your first pictures, or like we did when the
+ compilation stuff on Linux boxes started working). Usually, we also do
+a manual resync at that time.
