+Flight Gear now has an anonymous CVS repository.  Currently, it is read
+only, but it will allow you to maintain your own absolutely up to date
+source tree.  You will also be able to do diffs, extract older versions
+of files, and all the other fancy CVS stuff.
+
+Instructions for accessing the FG cvs repository can be found by 
+following the "CVS Resources" link from the main FG web page:
