Added instructions for using cvsup. (Extracted from ohara's article.)

Getting the whole source tree by CVSup (written by Ohara)

CVSup is free software and the source code and the binaries can be
obtained from the following URL:

http://www.polstra.com/projects/freeware/CVSup/

While you can get any specified version of the source with the
usual cvs, you can get only the latest source code by using CVSup.

After installing CVSup, decide a directory for putting OpenXM source
tree and a working directory for CVSup.  Let these directories be
/home/ohara/openxm and /home/ohara/tmp.  You have to create these
directories in advance.  Then create a file 'openxm-supfile'
containing the following lines:

*default host=cvsup.math.sci.kobe-u.ac.jp
*default base=/home/ohara/tmp
*default prefix=/home/ohara/openxm
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default compress
openxm
openxm-contrib
openxm-contrib2

Then execute cvsup as follows:

% cvsup -g openxm-supfile		

where '-g' option indicates disabling GUI. You will get the whole
source tree in /home/ohara/openxm. Once you have the source tree, you
can update it by executing the same command.
