I believe that the above CVSROOT will only work for the native Win32 cvs
version.  Although I have never tried, I suspect that is will be difficult
(or impossible) to get the Cygwin cvs version to deal with Windows style
paths (that include a drive letter).

My suggestion is to use Cygwin style paths.  For example, one way to specify
the an equivalent CVSROOT to the above is the following:

    $ export CVSROOT=/cygdrive/p/RE_BIPS_Projekt/NEBI/cvsroot

Note:
    1. the above assumes that you have not changed the cygdrive path
       prefix (with mount --change-cygdrive-prefix)
    2. :local:" is optional in CVSROOT (unless you are using drive letters
       in the Win32 version)

Alternately, you can mount P: or one of its subdirectories via mount and
then set your CVSROOT as appropriate.  For example:

    $ mount -f -b P:/RE_BIPS_Projekt/NEBI/cvsroot /cvsroot
    $ export CVSROOT=/cvsroot
    $ cvss co nebi
    ...
