CVS 1.11 & edit -c patch & windows ?

[Gilles-Eric Descamps]

Hi All,
 
1) Has anybody applied the edit -c patch to CVS 1.11 ?
 
edit -c / -f allows for reserved checkout: one writer only mode,
which is against CVS philosophy, but may be useful
when you have no way to merge changes in a file (binary).
 
2) By any chances, would somebody have
an "edit -c" patched version of a binary
of CVS 1.11 for windows ?
 
3) How difficult is the compile of CSV 1.11 under windows ?
which compiler can I use (MS Visual C++) ?
 
Thanks,
