Well, on all Windows platforms CVS first looks for HOME, then if it 
doesn't find it it attempts to compse HOME from HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH. 
It just so happens that the NT based systems automatically set 
HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.

I thought "Could not discover home directory" was pretty clear.  It is 
fairly clearly stated in the docs as well, I believe.  Perhaps the error 
message deserves treatment in the troubleshooting section of the manual. 
Patches always welcome!!!  :)

Actually, that was a branch off of 1.11.4 which I used to insert the 
CAN-2003-0015 fix for 1.11.5 since some other work had been done on the 
trunk and I was in a hurry and didn't want to worry about evaluating and 
testing it at the time.  It's defunct now.

Nope.  That's for stable releases.  1.11.6, 1.11.7, 1.11.X...

That one's obsolete.

They're documented in the email archives now.  :)  You can browse the 
ChangeLogs, NEWS files, and such and sometimes glean what what you were 
looking for.  That's what I just did.  Patches for the www project on 
cvshome.org are gladly accepted as well!  :)
