Glen, thanks for the reply.  autopoint is part of gettext.  The home 
site for gettext is here: 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html

Unfortunately I don't see autopoint documented there.  I use Gentoo, and 
on that autopoint comes from package sys-devel/gettext.  All autopoint 
does is to extract the gettext source files into your current project. 
Since the source files are stored in a CVS archive, it needs to create a 
temporary  repository to put the CVS files into, then extract them.  It 
then deletes the temporary repository.  So the usage is entirely 
transitory, and no one else ever needs to see this temporary repository.

I suppose someone will have to submit a request to the gettext people to 
ask them to update the autopoint shell script to become cvs version-aware.
