Yep, it's just:

cvs -d CVSREPO_PATH co -D "date time" module

e.g.,

cvs -d ~/.CVS-dpgb co -D "3/4/98 21:33 GMT" raytracer

But that's more involved than just ftp-ing one of multiple distinguished
back-snapshots that are available from the normal site. We don't want
to require people use anonymous CVS to get a semi-supported version of
guile.
