	I do not think it is possible to use WinCVS and Cygwin compiled CVS 
on the same sandbox. Cygwin CVS expects ALL files to be in Unix mode. 
 While WinCVS can check out sandbox files with Unix line endings, it 
should still expect the CVS/* files to use Windows line endings.  You 
must choose one tool or the other.
