cvsnt runs fine from 'Program Files'...  At least one of the machines I
run it on has all its files there...  The space problems only occur on the
repositories, not on the executable.

Often on a machine the temp directory will be defined as C:\Temp or
similar.  The 'Documents and Settings' thing seems to have come in with
IE6 and is backwards to me... (Making a default temp that System can't
write is surely a bug?).  I don't really want to go around changing
system settings or creating random temp directories, especially if the
user is only using cvsnt as a client.  Maybe I can find a way to change
the permissions on the default one to something more sane.
