No problem, I just commited it to not risk losing it on my local hard drive.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make the compilation of the plugin
depending on the existence of the cvs client. Otherwise one would have 
to recompile KDevelop if he installed CVS after KDevelop. cvs is not required at compiletime at all. Therefore (although I don't know if that's
possible) I think we should rather check for it's existence at runtime 
and maybe disallow the loading of the plugin if cvs client is missing.

I think that shouldn't be a problem. 
The plugin is seperated into three parts.

The Interface does not more than collecting the files and 
requesting a certain action (add, update, ...) for that files.

The Proxy handels all the stuff related to the cvs client, like 
building the commandline, creating the job, and so on...

The Output-Views get connected to a job and will parse and display it's output 


So (hopefully) chaning one of these parts will have no or little inpact on the others...

Well, I just added the mainmenu stuff in order to be able to test the actions somehow. As soon as we have an other option to issue VCS actions I'll remove it from the mainmenu.
