that could be pretty difficult since the calls can be quite different. If you 
update HEAD you can see that I added support for the perforce version control 
system and the submit method is quite complicated.

It can also get messy if someone decides to support more CVS features, it is 
most likely that it will break all other VCSses.

If you look at the code you can see that you basically need 50-100 LOC to get 
a VCS running, so I'm not sure whether a generic part will actually save work 
or only complicate things up...

Best regards,
Harry
