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?
