I don't know - I think cvs2dist.sh implemented some of the important featur=
es=20
of cvsExtract by now.

Well, cvsExtract is made for the extra gear so should there ever be a hack=
=20
necessary that only applies to extra gear apps it can be done. Whatever thi=
s=20
should be :-)

But I will summarize some of cvsExtract's (as of now) features:
 - lets you fetch both from fresh from CVS and from some dir (where you=20
already have the CVS modules)
 - creates "standard" tarballs with po and doc subdirs
 - automatically retrieves all available languages by default
 - translations for messages and documentation

But I think you can use whatever you want.
