C-h v user-real-login-name returns ``dosuser''. How do I change this?
Anyway, shouldn't Emacs be looking for $HOME/_emacs first?

I have dual-boot Red Hat Gnu/Linux and Windows 9x computer. I also have
sources for Emacs 20 packaged as an RPM. Is it possible to build it
with DJGPP? I mean, I have to download a series of large files from
Simtel and I don't want to overload our Internet connexion (I share a
single connexion with 20 other people). How about posting a diff so I
can ``patch'' the sources from the RPM and build it with DJGPP? Please?

Oops. I didn't say I had a problem with CVSEDITOR in the previous post
now did I? But CVS was having a problem finding CVSEDITOR. I don't know
why.

Yup. It appears to be a bug in the port. In Linux, ``cvs release -d''
works as it should.
