I'm there now..

(slight pause)

Ok, looks good.  In particular, the proposed directory structure makes
great sense.  However, I'm skeptical that this alone is causing cvs not to
run.

This is what results:

Found: .\cvs-1.10.7.exe
Found: f:\local\bin\cvs-1.10.7.exe
.\cvs-1.10.7.exe
  C:\CYGNUS\CYGWIN~1\H-I586~1\BIN\cygwin1.dll

You stumped me here.  The shell won't run unless 
/CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/BIN is on the path.  I did rework it to keep
redundancy to a mimimum:

/usr/local/bin:/CYGNUS/CYGWIN~1/H-I586~1/BIN:/WINNT/system32:/WINNT

I updated to most recent cygwin1-YYYYetc.. and cywin-inst.  No change in
(mis)behavior.  It would be great if someone could double-check me on
this by downloading any recent cvs newer than 1.10.5 or so and building
with the configure defaults.  If you can check modules from a unix-based
CVS server, you're further than I'm getting.

Thanks for the tips, please keep them coming!

Steve
