updated info on gcc CVS transition

hey y'all. Here's up-to-date info on how to get current sources, and
general status and admin-type-stuff.


1) libstdc+++-v3 master CVS
   
   ... has moved into the egcs module. Ie, if you follow the info here:

   http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html

   And do a checkout of the 'egcs' module, you should end up with
   sources to both gcc, libstdc++, libio, and libstdc++-v3. From
   there, you just follow the build/install documentation, and use
   --enable-libstdcxx-v3. In addition, it is possible to just check
   out the libstdc++-v3 module from this CVS server. An example:
   
   cvs -d:ext:bkoz@egcs.cygnus.com:/cvs/gcc co libstdc++-v3

   (Obviously, passwords/usernames will vary....)


2) sourceware libstdc++ CVS

   ... is read-only now, and not being updated. You can access these
   sources in two ways:

   - anonymous CVS
    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/libstdc++ login
    (anoncvs)
    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.cygnus.com:/cvs/libstdc++ co libstdc++

   - ftp   
   ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/libstdc++/20000420-libstdc++-v3.tar.gz


3) options for tracking current CVS

   - just check out the gcc CVS libstdc++-v3 (preferred)

   - try to get this script to do the conversion for you
   http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/egcs/contrib/newcvsroot?rev=1.1.2.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup


4) other bits

   - the web-pages / on-line docs are now pointing out of the
     gcc/libstdc++-v3/docs directory, and things checked into that
     repository are propagated onto the web.

   - the libstdc++-cvs@sourceware.cygnus.com list is not working. At
     some point again in the misty future, this will work again, I
     guess. For the time being, checkins to libstdc++-v3 are noted on
     the general gcc-cvs list......
