I am not aware that anyone has contributed an offical build. If you wish
to contribute the offical build, we can publish it on here:

  
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/binary/stable/cvs-1.11.23/x86-woe/cvs-1-11-23.zip
  
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/non-gnu/cvs/binary/stable/cvs-1.11.23/x86-woe/cvs-1-11-23.zip.sig

after all, you did do most of the work to make 1.11.23 useful to Windows
users.

Feel free to send address@hidden a pointer to the cvs-1-11-23.zip and I'll
work with Derek to get it published on the ftp.gnu.org site.

You are welcome. Thank you for your contributions to testing that it
works properly on windows.
