Actually, you can get the list of modules.  I just updated the
cvshome.org news to have this tidbit, too.

If you run:
    cvs history -c -a -l | awk '{sub(/[/].*/,"",$8); print $8;}' | sort -u

You will get the list of top-level directories in your CVS repo
(assuming of course that you have "awk" and a POSIX-ish "sort"
on hand.
