Yes, please.  This is very useful.  We should probably also check in an
initial "config file", and some simple skeleton scripts for the cvs calls.
And yes, by "we" I mean I'll help once this one's checked in.  :-)

Since the "let" builtin is a POSIX thing, and it's been made woefully clear
that GCC can't depend on /bin/sh actually being POSIX, this script should
either a) document that fact, or b) just use a different shell.
