Boisy and Tim Linder are the maintainers so if you send the changed
files to them, they can commit to the CVS.

you can grab the entire source tree with the command:

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at toolshed.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/toolshed
co -P toolshed

That will work in Cygwin.  Not sure if there is a CLI cvs for straight
windows. In the GUI world, you can use Tortise CVS and do essentially
the same thing.
