You know, I wish I didn't have to ;-) Unfortunately, the only way for me
to create a patch offline (like this one, on an airplane) is to rsync
the cvs repository down to the local drive, and run cvsnt on it - since
cvs does not support offline diff. And the only way to make it not put
in backslashes instead of slashes is do run the diff in the docs
directory and not in the root :-(

Does this actually cause a problem for you when you're committing, or is
is just that it looks bad? Because if it causes a problem I can manually
edit them out of my patches before I submit.
