First, remember that you're not really tunneling with CVS the same way 
you're tunneling with X. The PuTTY suite provides plink, which has no 
interface or terminal integration and integrates very nicely with CVS. 
It can use PuTTY sessions and shares the cache of host keys in the 
registry, uses pageant, etc. Most of our Windows users use TortoiseCVS 
(http://www.tortoisecvs.org/), which integrates a customized version of 
plink.
