There are such tools for Win32, but as Bo indicated already CVS won't 
work with multiple masters (unless you're willing to put up with very 
nasty possible problems).  If you stay with a single repository, you can 
use compression and it'll go a long way for making even distant users happy.

You might want to look into Arch, it was designed for distributed use -- 
but it is UNIX-only and fairly complex.
