Yes, this could be used as a temp solution: First get commit list
using "cvs log -d ...", then grep the file revision entries share
the same cvs log information. Then we can rebuild the per-commit-changset 
information.

But, the method is low efficiency, especially when considering
per-commit-changset might contain files distributing at different
directories...

Just for the integrity of XORP codebase history, it would be desirable 
if anyone with old xorp-cvs mail archive could contribute and
put it on the XORP website...
