Slight aside (this doesn't address CVS issues)

...hook_nodeapi isn't in core - but node_invoke_nodeapi is

- and this is what defines the hook

I wonder how hard it would be to alter the api module to recognise hooks 
in this way - and then to add the references (eg forum_nodeapi)

At the moment the only link between these is generated by the comment 
"implementation of hook_nodeapi"

I might have a look at doing this...
