Stock cvsweb checks the revision for the Perl RE /^[\d\.]+$/, so
while CVS will happily take a -r HEAD, cvsweb won't.  I assume that
SourceForge's custom version doesn't have this changed.

I see two other groups on our server have their own cvsweb.cgi,
so one might assume that we can put a custom version up ourselves.

Alternately, someone could set up a cronjob to export -r HEAD
to the web dir repeatedly, but that's a bit uglier, IMO.
