Oliver has covered most of the details already, but there is a subtle
thing that I think you should be aware of might cause problems:
Since in the checked out folder system CVS handles files in a given
folder using metadata inside a CVS subfolder where one file tells CVS
from which source folder the files came from, you will have problems
stuffing single files coming from *different* server folders into one
common folder on the client side...

Also if you do this, you will have trouble tagging project1 because
you would also tag Project2 at the same time.
Why not keep the binary result of a project in a bin folder below the
source folder of that project instead? That way you can select that
project's source folder and tag all of these files at once.
