WinCVS is a GUI wrapper for CVS.  I'm not sure if the exec an external 
CVS or import the code.

CVSNT is a CVS server for NT.  No GUI interface, except possibly an 
admin GUI.  There are some interesting features in here, some 
interesting enough that they ported the thing back to UNIX.  The problem 
is that it's diverged so far now that it is hard to merge new 
differences.  The CVSNT "patch" to CVS is simply huge now.  I just 
started talking to Tony Hoyle (CVSNT's maintainer) about packaging up 
some of his features as smaller patches to ease my importing them back 
to the mainline and he sounds willing but no patches have been 
forthcoming yet, with the exception of some trading of some incomplete 
work on Kaz Kylheku's atomicity idea.

If anyone has time and would like to package CVSNT features in "small" 
patches for reimport into the mainline, that would be great!  :)
