CVS stuff for AG

I don't know what you mean by sandbox, but the plan is to use
pachelbel.mcs.anl.gov and enable anonymous cvs on the AG modules.

We'll be making it all accessible, but there will be a review process
for code that is being proposed to be committed. We'll have to be
extremely careful about not putting broken stuff in -- this process
allows external developers and internal developers to submit
modifications/additions in a symmetric way, which is good for community
vibe.

I think the module name should be AG, 1.0 should be put in with the 1.0
tag, and when we're ready we'll make a 2.0 branch (then we can do bug
fixes to 1.0 and still move ahead on 2.0).

I think that makes sense, but I was up til 3:30 with Isaiah, you never
know :-)
