Yes, I know why it's there, but my question is still if it's needed. I've
looked around and most of the times the URL is in the form "cvs -z3
-d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/goboscripts co
<modulename>", where the module name isn't specified, so one cannot paste
it directly from the instructions anyway. Then I thought that why keep
'-d' and 'co' as those are redundant and it's not that much harder to
select only the
"pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/goboscripts" part.
I'm ok with keeping them, just that I didn't find it easier if one had to
specify the '-d' and 'co'. There's one problem though: Parse_Option will
die with "unknown option: -d" unless the string is quoted or the option
'-d' is added to MakeRecipe.
