Do yourself a favor and use Cyclic's precompiled Windows distribution.

Ya, I vaguely remember this.  Went away after setting a bunch of environment
vrbls for CVS's benefit ...

set HOMEDRIVE=d:
set HOMEPATH=\hugga
set CVSROOT=:local:d:\hugga

Why on earth I installed it into d:\hugga will forever remain a mystery even
to me, but having done so CVS wants to be told about it in multiple
redundant ways <wink>.
