[ale] Linux Kernel Change Control + CVS

[cfowler at outpostsentinel.com (cfowler)]

I really like CVS.  There is a few features missing that does not allow
storage of the kernel source as Linux would like in CVS but I'm storing
my modified 2.4.18 version just fine.

#1) links are not supported
#2) binary files will get stepped on if you are not carefule
