[Serusers] problem with compiling the new CVS release

[Michal Matyska]

Hi,

Sorry for the inconvinience... checkout the CVS code before the DB API
started to change (e.g. add -D 20070328 option to the cvs co command). 

Until all modules will be changed and using new API, it won't compile
for a while.
