I'm not even that rusting.  I keep my permanently pristine cvs tree 
in ~/KDE/kde and copy to /opt/src/kde for compiling.  Of course this
means having 2 full copys of KDE in source form during compilation
but disk space is a lot easier to come by than bandwidth and I don't 
want to risk a few broken scripts forcing me to download all of KDE 
again.
