At a technical level, yes it is possible. The modules file and the
repository can be structured such that ``cvs co'' mix-n-matches a
collection of directories into a specific local structure. It was
considered when the GDB and binutils repositories were merged but
discarded as unnecessary at the time.
The relevant tests should be fixed.
