How hard would it be to have the individual cvs projects such that they 
could be checked out all in one shot?

I'm thinking that if it was easy enough to maintain an up-to-date cvs 
copy for all the individual projects, then it would be easy to grep the 
entire mess when making backend changes. That way at least you could 
determine the extent of the impact when making backend changes. And 
since they are still individual projects, you don't need to get them all 
if you're not interested.
