Here's what happened: I created a directory 'lib/libggi/display/L_common' 
a while back, to put linux common code in, and cvs added it.  There was
nothing in it initially.  Then when I did 'cvs update -d', cvs must have
deleted it and its 'CVS' directory.  Now I've created it again and put
files in it, and the missing 'CVS' directory is what seems to cause the
problem.  Ugh.

I don't see how this can be fixed, so what I'll do is just use another
directory name (Linux_common -- nicer anyway).  Fun fun fun :-).

Cheers,
