I'm sorry.  You're absolutely right.  I completely missed your assertion
that web search of the code base was crucial to any contributions.

So, to rephrase for my clarification:

You went to the advertised link for the CVS web repository and didn't
see any way to search the repository.  You use the search functionality
that gitweb provides all of the time and think it would benefit Cygwin.

I'll see what I can do about upgrading to using a more modern view which
allows search.  I assume that the contribution floodgate will open.

I'll once again point out that gdb, binutils, and gcc seem to get by
just fine without this.  And, maybe I missed something, but I don't see
search on sourceforge.net either.  Given that, I don't see how this can
be a huge barrier to entry.
