Hi,

We just got Philip's and then Erwan's remote CVS to work, so I thought I
should document how it's done.

===================================================================


Estimated hours taken: 0.5

Update the documentation - it seems you need to have an account
on the CVS server machine after all.

developer/remote_cvs.html:
	Add instructions to create an account on hydra and mercury.
	Add some more documentation on how to "allow" domains to
	access the machines.
