Considering we were discussing how to update to the latest source, which 
both cvs and cvsup can do, cvsup is the more advanced of the two.  Its 
speed is testament to this.  Granted, cvs has a whole host of other 
features and functionality, but in our limited focus of updating to the 
latest source, cvsup wins.
