That is the standard way I like *everybody* to do it.

The instructions are on the web page, but for a standard implementation,
just:

cd / (or C:\)
tar xvfz CVSlatest.tgz (or do the winzip thing in the same place)

This will overwrite all the same files as the CVS update (because it
does a cvs update into spider directory that is just used for this and
then tars it up).
