Yes, it does. While Cygwin does run _on_ Win32 it does not act like a
Win32 app. I tend to think of it as an emulator. AFAIK mixing Cygwin
and CVSNT clients on the same sandbox is not a good idea. For instance,
last time I heard, Cygwin CVS checks out text files with Unix-style
linebreaks. If you check these files in with the CVSNT client you will
corrupt your repository files (or vice versa: commiting files with
Cygwin CVS that were checked out with CVSNT (i.e. CRLF)).

[Disclaimer: I have never used Cygwin myself. Everything I said is
based on hearsay and might well be entirely wrong.]

Cheers,
