It makes sense to not have them in CVS from a consistency standpoint.
However, those dirs are intended to be vendor branches (or whatever CVS
calls it when you just bulk add external files) so that hopefully
keeping a current version just means importing an upstream release
tarball. I don't know how CVS copes with that, I'd have to read up in
the CVS book. Dave, do you know?
