Authoritative answer: No.
For the records:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The /etc/services symlink is just a convenience for the user. If you
create a file in /etc instead, it won't be used by the OS. Never.
Cygwin is using Winsock. Winsock uses the services file in
${SYSTEMROOT}/system32/drivers/etc on NT systems and in ${windir}
on 9x systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open the *correct* services file, add the cvspserver line and you're
done. Be careful on 9x systems to use the very same layout as in any
other line, otherwise the system might misbehave.
