Thanks Chuck, you are right, I just want to use the binaries.

I did this:
  export CVSROOT=/cvs
  cvs init

and received this error:
cvs [init aborted]: cannot open dbm file .#1053 for creation: Permission
denied

Deleting all, setting umask 770, and trying again gives
cvs [init aborted]: cannot open dbm file .#1055 for creation: Permission
denied

Setting CVSUMASK=770 just changed the filename to 1063.

What permission do I need to solve or set first??

Jeff,
  CVS is included in the default cygwin install.  Most of your questions
below deal with building CVS from its own source files; there is no need
to do that unless you really want to.  (If you do want to build from
source, then download cvs-1.10.8-X-src.tar.gz from a cygwin mirror,
unpack, and follow the instructions in
<cvs-src>/CYGWIN-PATCHES/cvs-1.10.8.README)

To get started with CVS (after you've compiled it, or assuming you want
to use the precompiled version installed with cygwin by default), do
this:
  export CVSROOT=<where you want your repository>
  cvs init

Then, follow the instructions in various online sources to see how you
actually USE cvs.  Try:
