Modified Files:
	pkgsrc/doc/guide/files: getting.xml

Log Message:
Simplify CVS instructions:
- multiple steps are harder to understand than single step,
  and commands are black magic to novice user anyway;
- single step also makes instructions more cut-and-paste friendly;
- drop csh support, csh users have more troubles when following
  instructions already, they have to refer to their documentation;
- explain CVS_RSH issues;
- sort CVS subcommands in sample .cvsrc so that it could be more
  comprehensible (this should be moved into separate section in
  appendix along with rest CVS "magic" or just go away).

FIXME: link the list of AnonCVS mirrors.

Discussed with <abs> and <joerg>.
