Right -- but "passwordless" ssh means that the sshd must be running as 
the user you want to log in as.  I was running sshd under SYSTEM...so no 
luck there.

But you note that this is NOT a cvs server -- it's really logging in to 
the "remote" machine via ssh and running cvs "on the 'server'".  cvs 
itself is not listening for incoming connections.

I did not change from gdbm to flat file -- at least not on purpose.  In 
fact, I added a lot of configury code to enable linkage to gdbm.  So 
your comment that "re autotooling was [not] necessary" is nonsense -- I 
modified configure.in and at least one Makefile.am -- of COURSE I had to 
reautotool.

No, after removing the autotool detritus, the patch is still 27k, and 
touches the following files:

cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/cvs.README
cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/postinstall.sh
cvs-1.11.5/CYGWIN-PATCHES/setup.hint
cvs-1.11.5/configure.in
cvs-1.11.5/lib/system.h
cvs-1.11.5/src/Makefile.am
cvs-1.11.5/src/cvs.h
cvs-1.11.5/src/gdbm_wrap.c
cvs-1.11.5/src/gdbm_wrap.h
cvs-1.11.5/src/mkmodules.c
cvs-1.11.5/src/modules.c
cvs-1.11.5/src/myndbm.h
cvs-1.11.5/src/rcs.c
cvs-1.11.5/src/sanity.sh
cvs-1.11.5/src/tag.c
cvs-1.11.5/windows-NT/README

It's definitely NOT stock, unless I screwed up.
