location of up2date cvs

[Stan Bubrouski]

Well as far as up2date goes I'm none to pleased with it to be honest. 
It seems to frequently lock-up due to errors in underlying python
libraries when it recieves something unexpected fro mthe server.  I've
found myself only running up2date from a shell so I can see the output
and know when it is locked up.

Honestly I wish it were written in different language, but that just me
I guess, I don't know python (perl fan about all other scripting lang.)
so I can't fix bugs on my own which erks me cause now I gotta learn
python ;-)
