> What version of CVSGrab are you using?

Any version I tried, from 2.0.3 to the latest CVS code, yield the same
results: no files are fetched. I've downloaded cvsgrab code and found
out the reason: Apache's ViewCVS templates are a bit different than
what cvsgrab expects.

For example, here's the XPath expression cvsgrab uses to find link to files: 

//TR[TD/A/IMG/@alt = '(file)']

And here's a sample output from Apache's ViewCVS output:

<td colspan=2>
<a name=".classpath"
href="/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-hivemind/.classpath?rev=1.42&amp;view=log">
<img src="/viewcvs.cgi/*docroot*/images/text.png" alt="" border=0
width=16 height=16>
.classpath</a>
</td>

Notice that the alt attribute isn't set to "(file)", as cvsgrab
expects, and all other sites (sourceforge, objectweb, codehaus, etc)
uses. I can't imagine why Apache removed the alt attribute... Maybe I
should raise a bug agains Apache's web infrastructure? Where can I do
this?
