That won't be a problem. Just add it to .distfiles.

It's not worth it; you can't bundle a raw CVS tree anyway, you have to run
preconfig. Get that to do any pre-configuation stuff.

It's ancient, it really should be completely rewritten and preferably
divided up into indiviual files doing different things, with any compctl
