Every once in a while, I'll be working in a cvs sandbox which I don't own
and will want to do something (non-destructive) like see the cvs log of the
file I'm viewing. In the shell, you need to do "cvs -d $CVSROOT log file"
to make this work. Is there any way to similarly supply the -d argument
inside of emacs vc mode?

,----[ C-h v cvs-cvsroot RET ]
| cvs-cvsroot is a variable defined in `pcvs-defs.el'.
| Its value is nil
|
| Documentation:
| *Specifies where the (current) cvs master repository is.
| Overrides the environment variable $CVSROOT by sending " -d dir" to
| all CVS commands. This switch is useful if you have multiple CVS
| repositories. It can be set interactively with M-x cvs-change-cvsroot.
| There is no need to set this if $CVSROOT is set to a correct value.
