Ok.  I finally got that version to work for me. (Need to use a newer
version of python.)

Based on what the version tree looks like, I think this did a much
better conversion than hg convert.  (Fewer branches and the branches
that are created look reasonably sensible to me.)

If someone wants to make an hg repo suing cvs2hg, go ahead.  I can't do
this because I'm not an admin (and don't really want to be).  But if an
admin can enable hg on sourceforge, I can push this repo up for others
to use.
