I've used it successfully several times, but I have this cryptic note in 
the middle of my version:

     -x|-R) cvs_args="$cvs_args $1" ;;
     -d|-z) cvs_args="$cvs_args $1 $2"; shift ;;
     -d*) cvs_args="$cvs_args $1" ;;
     -z*) cvs_args="$cvs_args $1" ;;

# drewp changing this letter. it's weird
     p*) module=$1 ;;

     *) echo "cvs2darcs: invalid argument $1" 1>&2; exit 1 ;;


Possibly I'm changing that 'p' to the first letter of my cvs repo each 
time? It's been several months since my last conversion so I don't remember.

Anyway, that's the only tweak I recall needing. I would have been using 
the standard tools (cvsps, etc) from whatever ubuntu was shipping last May.
