cvs -rHEAD  -D'19 May 2001'

Theoretically both a branch and a date are required because it's quite common
to have two or more branches with active files on them.  I'm surprised CVS
didn't implicitly do the '-rHEAD' thing to select the right branch, but not
terribly surprised.  The specific case of raw.h mentioned in IRC is one I'll
be looking at more closely...
