Note that this patch can be dropped if Sverre Rabbelier's suggestion of 
adding an "option" command to fast-import is accepted: 
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/124655

In that case, the CVS helper (or any other helper) can use the "option" 
fast-import command instead of having to tell transport-helper.c to invoke 
fast-import appropriately. Seems like a somewhat cleaner solution to me...


Have fun!
