What exactly do you mean by that? I am apparently still ignorant to your 
statement that Import never worked in the first place as this is totally 
contrary to my experience...

It no longer does... :(

Yes, it's a matter of merging back and forth. Hasn't been much of an 
effort so far. However, my case is probably a bit special in this 
respect as the local modifications I make eventually get contributed to 
the "official" third-party sources anyway. All I usually have to do when 
we get the next third-party release is use cvs admin -b to reset the 
default branch to the vendor branch...

Cheers,
