Tom,

I don't know what unreasonable infrastructure you are referring to. 
Building cvsup is a major pain, but installing and running it isn't, in 
my experience. There's a package in Fedora Extras. Setting up cvsweb 
against my cvsup repo is a fine idea - I wonder why I didn't think of that.

That's not to say that supporting cvsync isn't a good idea too. 
TIMTOWTDI as we perl people like to say.

cheers
