I'm an optimist. I am assuming that, sometimes in the future, cvsup mirrors
are going to show up, so let's reserve the place right now. Also, this
makes the cvsup information more prominent.

Jeff kind-of volunteered to provide cvsup access for people who wanted it
in a previous email, so I'm kind-of following his instructions. Jeff ?
It's your call: law@redhat.com, or overseers@gcc.gnu.org ?
Fixed up patch, hope I didn't miss anything.
