I've applied the following patch from Jason L Tibbitts III:

+	(void) sprintf (env, "CVSUSER=%s", CVS_Username);
+	(void) putenv (env);
     }
 
     return host_user;

And then did the following change myself:

And now the log messages has the user name of the person who commits,
and not just "cvs".
