The "something that was screwed up" was pretty small ... just that
some of the contents of ~/.cvsrc were being ignored. I didn't
investigate a lot ... might have been a line-ending issue or something.

Certainly not risky, but a little annoying to have to keep typing
'cvs diff -dp' rather than 'cvs diff'.

BTW, I later did try using the standard zlib dll instead of the
gnuwin32 one, and it worked OK with the gnuwin32 libpng, but I had to
generate a new import library for it.
