[TriLUG] aliasing cvsroots

We are setting up a CVS server at $WORK.  Because of the existing CVS 
server structure, we have multiple CVS roots on an NT server, say

c:\
  repository\
    foo\ (cvsroot)
    bar\ (cvsroot)
    baz\ (cvsroot)

and when checking out, one sees /foo or /bar or /baz.

What we want to convert it to is like this:

/
  cvs/
    foo/ (cvsroot)
    bar/ (cvsroot)
    baz/ (cvsroot)

The problem is that with CVS, when we check the modules out, we see 
/cvs/foo, /cvs/bar, /cvs/baz, and so on.  What we want to do is alias /cvs 
to / as far as the CVS server is concerned.  How would we go about doing 
this?
