Recent versions of CVSNT now pwwc (play well with Cygwin). That is, if you 
set CVS_RSH to 'C:\Cygwin\bib\ssh.exe' you can use Cygwin/OpenSSH (ssh, 
ssh-agent, etc.) for your connection. I started using it for better 
interoperability with WinCvs, but this also gives you DOS line endings no 
mater what your mounts look like (which may or may not be what you want).

HTH,
