Anonymous CVS at Sourceforge has been down a month or so.  It's good to
have it back.  Bogofilter has been very stable during the outage so
there are very few changes.

Find and sed provide an alternate way to make the change (useful should
you not have perl installed) is:

find . -name Root | xargs -l1 sed -i.bk -e 's/@cvs/@bogofilter.cvs/'
