The CVS in Cygwin is rather old. The problematic in it is, that
it does not work in environments where all traffic must go through

The support was added 1.12.7 and Debian includes 1.12.9 (unstable)
Somebody is going to have to persuasively make the case that we should
be using the "feature" (e.g. unstable development, 1.12.x) version of
CVS, rather than the "stable" (1.11.x) version.
Saying that Debian __unstable__ distributes the 1.12.x version doesn't
quite do that.
