CVS as pserver & modules file is not supported

[Charles Wilson]

Search the archives.  cvsd as a :pserver: is not yet supported.  SOME 
people have had success after much effort; others have not.  (cvs DOES 
work as a :pserver: client however)

Instead of going to all the effort of writing a java proxy, you could 
have merely getten sshd running on your repository machine, and used 
'CVS_RSH=ssh' on your local machine.  Then, with 
'CVSROOT=:ext:user@repositorymachine:/path/to/rep' stuff would just work.

But you wouldn't know that unless you either (a) read the documentation 
in /usr/doc/Cygwin/cvs*, or (b) searched the mailing list archives...
