That depends, of course.;)
But for me, the answer is Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org/), once it is done. Its design goal is to be a replacement for CVS... and to do that, they are releasing it under a BSD-style license.
And that decision will make it useful in the *BSD's, Debian, and any other OS.
They aren't breaking new ground, just making a better CVS--and that is exactly what I need.
I think the versatility of a rubber-tired backhoe would provide an _excellent_ starting point for this competition...
The hydrolics can get you out of some deep holes.
I can see it now:
"To win, you have to get across this stream."
Ok, boys, dam it. Or divert it around us.

Glad my comment was useful to you, even if the moderators think nothing of it.:)
One of the added benefits to that approach is that you can accumulate a config.site file that answers questions for most of what you cross compile. That way, you only have to say that a word is 4 bytes once.:)
When you are cross compiling, configure may not be able to run those tests, but you can help it out.
Define the CONFIG_SITE to point to a config.site file in configure's environment. Then put into your config.site file a line like:
ac_cv_func_getpgrp_void=yes
Yes, you do have to look at the configure code to find that name, but it lets you give the software the answers it needs.
While we're on the subject of CVS...
I've gotta plug cervisia. It's a Very nice GUI for CVS. One of the features I really like is that it will show you the command line it executes so you can learn the commandline from the GUI. A very nice blend of useability & power.
Say I want to know about the legality of putting extra lights of various colors on my truck...
Or where to register to vote...
Or who to contact about the title of a vehicle...
There are a lot of questions one can ask of a state government--provide a way for us to ask them.
I've found that Cervisia is a _very_ nice GUI frontend for CVS.
Check out http://cervisia.sourceforge.net/
There is still room for improvement and more features, but it does make dealing with CVS less painful. I like the fact that it shows you the commands it is executing so that you can learn as you go.

Not in Texas, you wouldn't.

What do you need, written instructions?"
Nah, just a program.
Oh, And a compiler.
(So sue^Wmod me.)
And any source code for Open Source projects... They are after all, "non-commercial" by M$'s standards.

Make it organized. But more importantly,
You need a powerful search capability.
