I’ve built from source before, but not from CVS. Can I buy a clue?
CVS is the current development version of Blender.

CVS ( Concurrent Versions System ) is the revision control software we use to manage the Blender source code. We keep the source files in a CVS repository.
You can think of CVS as a database of file versions. Our repository has ALL versions of blender; past and current.
I should have been more specific. I know what CVS is, and I’ve even dl’ed what’s on the CVS server to my system, but I haven’t seen a configure file, so how do I build this?
