CVS = concurrent versioning system
This is the live code being worked on as we speak. Stored as source code.

SDL = simple directmedia library
A multimedia runtime layer (like DirectX except cross platform). It was added later on to the pre .3 version branch as the new graphics layer. Earlier builds used an old, creepy driver from Darwin on x86 (Darwin is the opensource version of OS X without all the pretty stuff. It is native available for some x86 computers for free).

Hope that helps.
