Hi,

I finally managed to compile cvs-1.11.1p1
with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0.

These were the issues that had to be solved:

    * The was no project "zlib.dsp" so VC++
      could not find the zlib library it needed for CVS.

    * The file "annotate.c" was missing prom the project "cvsnt.dsp"
      (which caused a linkage failure: main.obj : error LNK2001:
       unresolved external symbol _annotate)

Okay... It seems I answered my own question.      :-)
That is the best way to proceed anyway, isn't it?
