There is no CVS of svgalib. The main reasons for that are that I don't
know how to use CVS, and that there is hardly any development going on,
except for what I am doing (at least as far as I know). If you have an
improvement for svgalib, than make sure you did your changes to the
latest pre-release of svgalib (either 1.4.3 or 1.9.*, as you prefer),
and send a patch to me or to the list. I usually apply such patches and
they are in the main source from the next pre-release.

Is it similar to what novccontrol does? If I understand correctly, then
the program you run will display on the remote computer, not on the
computer running the X server and displaying the xterm. Is that what you
mean?
