[OT]

WinCVS uses the "CVSNT" (fork of cvs) package, because it depends on 
some gui-integration feature of CVSNT for its functionality. I've tried 
to make it use the Cygwin cvs, but it no work so good with that.

CVSNT = CVS 1.11.something + NT-specific changes + refactoring of 
authentication mechanisms into separate loadable libraries + some random 
enhancements (like the -gui switch to output additional info to 
integrate to GUIs..)
