There's nothing that can be done about the Demon webspace AFAIK
-- I think Shawn has said that the uploading FTP site only
accepts connections from his own dialup account.  So his machine
is the only one which can upload to his webspace.

No, I did that some time ago. :)  I was using the shell server
to generate CVS snapshot releases, including dependencies etc,
like really frequent WIPs.  I was going to put it in a cron job,
but it would be serious abuse of that machine, so I never did it
again.  Don't run `update.sh' (but feel free to have a look) --
it will try to do a zipup, to generate the dependencies.  Oh,
also, you won't be able to run that script, it'll ask for your
password -- you don't have my SSH private key there. :)  And
this means you also won't be able to do a `cvs update' from
there.

Still, looking at that checkout, the CVS root I used was indeed:

    gfoot@xxxxxxxxxx

I don't think this checkout is much use any more -- if you don't
object, I'll delete it.
