Many thanks, you were absolutely right! I've written a small python script 
that changes all CVS/Root files, and now cvs login/update works as 
intended. 

For those who care, here is the script (tested with Andi's CVS archive). 
You can change the last line to point to a cvs server of your choice.

        if S_ISDIR(mode):
            replace_cvs_root(pathname,content)
        elif S_ISREG(mode):
            if pathname[-8:] == "CVS/Root":

                file = open(pathname,'w')
                file.write(content)
                file.close()
