You can try giving '.' as the CVS module name.  This may also convert
the ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT files though, which in some cases is not exactly
the best thing to do.

Another option is to create a copy of the CVS repository, and physically
rename all the toplevel directories in ${CVSROOT} to something which can
be checked out as a single module by fromcvs or Tailor.
