Done :)

Maybe, but it might be helpful for future developers. I remember that file 
being a great help when I got cvs write access. It's easy to have all 
common commands listed at one place.

I didn't got to writing something today, but I will try to come up with a 
short version of section III tomorrow. Something describing a typical 
development procedure, like checkout, edit, create patch, send patch to 
mailinglist, fix, etc, commit. We could decide later what to do with it. 
Like replace section III, add it to section I, or just bin it ;)
