We use CAP here quite heavily from an IRIX box to two macs without
	any problems (Well, no more than we get without CAP :)

	One option would be to compile a CVS server on elsie which
	uses a different directory than CVS - say MacCVS, then ensure
	CVS ignores the MacCVS dir & vica versa.

	Tacky, but short of running the solaris mac emulator or similar on
	a netbsd box, about the only way to do it :)
