Ok, it's been 12 hours...I'll take a stab.

Could you make your own listener that xinetd calls, then perform your own
work on it and spawn the appropriate cvs command with parameters?

..or am I way off base?

I'm thinking you'd have to jump through hoops to have the first program hand
off the correct network socket connections unless it acted like a proxy
server...  Are there proxy servers for cvs servers?
