There's no short way like in svn or git.
You could follow my suggestion from a few days ago and use the date
from the make install:
Starting installation of AmberTools, version 1.3 at Mon Sep 21 01:58:49 EDT 2009.
since cvs can update to a date:
a cvsld 'cvs log -d "\!*" | less "+G?selected revisions: [1-9]"'
#cvs log -d "04/10/2003>03/31/2003" | less '+G?selected revisions: [1-9]'

Another idea is to capture the output of
cvs status
but this is a verbose approach.

Scott
