I tried to compile all the CVS pcvs*.el files in Emacs 21.4, and only
pcvs-defs.el and pcvs-parse.el compiled cleanly, so it's probably not a
good idea.  Here are the warnings from the others:

While compiling the end of the data in file /var/tmp/pcvs-info.el:
 ** The following functions are not known to be defined:
   define-obsolete-variable-alias, define-obsolete-function-alias

While compiling cvs-string->strings in file /var/tmp/pcvs-util.el:
 ** split-string called with 3 arguments, but accepts only 1-2
 ** split-string called with 3 arguments, but accepts only 1-2

While compiling the end of the data in file /var/tmp/pcvs.el:
 ** The following functions are not known to be defined:

   read-directory-name, posn-set-point, smerge-ediff, vc-editable-p,
