Hm, *that* should actually work.  Ditto for "?rev=."  It's a bug in
CVSweb 3.0, but works in 2.0.x; will take a look.

If you want to checkout the latest revision of a file (ie. not show the
HTMLized source etc), this should work in all CVSweb versions:

   http://<server>/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/path/to/filename
