I believe there is a cygwin32 native CVS that Sergey has ported.  Check
the 
ports link on his page, http://www.lexa.ru/sos.

I can try. :)

My version of cvs-1.9 downloaded from www.cyclic.com works perfectly
under cygwin32. But compiling a 'native' cygwin32 cvs would certainly
the cleanest solution.

>2) One thought I had was to download cvs source and compile it under
cygwin.

Have you tried 'sh ./configure' or 'bash ./configure'? Perhaps the
file permissions are messed up and you have to set them with chmod.
But normally this should give an 'permission denied' error...

You could try the one from Sergey's remote.tgz found on
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/porters/Okhapki
