Following Sergey's instructions (and using Sergey's latest DLL), I was
able to build a gnu-win32 version of CVS that functions properly with
local file system access.  Unfortunately, client access to a remote
repository (on a UNIX machine) failed (and hung) with the following
error message:

    ' from cvs serverning: unrecognized response `ok

Since client mode did not work, I did not go down the CVS server path.

Has anyone been successful building a working client/server version of
CVS with b18 and Sergey's DLL?

Thanks,
Jason
