In actual fact I compiled both with --disable-client --disable-server
as I needed to as the easiest way to work around the library it was
trying to link with.

cvs1.10: 666786 + 17908 + 6220 = 690914
cvs1.11: 675334 + 17908 + 3184 = 696426
cvs1.11.1p1: 1024384 + 24752 + 17832 = 1066968
cvs1.11.2: 1429864 + 43600 + 18256 = 1491720 (stopped disabling
client-server)
cvs1.11.5: 1430912 + 44488 + 18256 = 1493656

The 1 meg increase going from 1.11 to 1.11.1p1 is the most disturbing.
What sort of enhancement did I get for 1 meg, a doubling of code size?
The relatively small increase going from 1.11.1p1 to 1.11.2 is explainable
by client-server code being enabled.
