	From its description, svk sounds like a completely different system:

	``svk is a decentralized version control system written in Perl. It 
uses the subversion filesystem but provides some other powerful 
features.''

	I.e. it seems to have a CVS vs. RCS relationship.  It would be unfair 
to call CVS RCS.
