Why not do some magic? It would make it harder to test while coding, but
if you constantly install the package before testing, you don't have to
worry about that. So basically, name the directory something *other*
than cvs and let the installer put the files in the CVS directory. It works.
A (perhaps) stupid question: is the avail format used for anything else
but CVS? In other words, could it also be used for subversion? If it can
be used for *anything* else, I think VersionControl_Avail would be the
best package name :)
