I've just updated the README.cvsup file in order to reflect the changes,
to provide a sample of how to download the whole thing, as well as
instructions on how to do "just" a particular module:
========================[ Updated README.cvsup ]=========================
# This file represents the standard CVSup distribution file
# for the PostgreSQL ORDBMS project
#
# Defaults that apply to all the collections
*default host=mcvsup.postgresql.org
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=.
# The following config will take the existing CVS repository
# modules and combine them into a directory structure containing
# all modules placed correctly in the tree.
#
# It is recommended that you only change the base= directory,
# which is where the top of the tree, and any administrative
# files that CVSup uses, will be downloaded into. The
# subsequent prefix= tags are relative to base
#
# Any one of the below can be commented out to download *just*
# that particular module ... the default here is to download
# and place everything. If, for instance, you are only interested
# in libpqxx, it is recommended that you comment out everything
# below this line except for the base= directive, and the module
# itself, so that it installs the code into $base/libpqxx
#
*default base=/home/scrappy/cvsup.src
pgsql
*default prefix=pgsql/src/interfaces
libpqxx
*default prefix=pgsql/contrib
