I'm trying to emulate an environment that is unix like in as many respects as
possible, because I'll be moving stuff between machines, and that may include
migrating the cvs repository. cvsnt exposes a small amount of windows specific
stuff, and I don't want to deal with these differences - from a user perspective.
I like to deal with one distribution for everything if possible. I am aware of
cvsnt, and actually installed it, but chose to stick with the cygwin distribution.
