Hm...  I don't have the CVS node and the corresponding info files
aren't found in the c:/emacs/info directory.  My windows emacs
distribution came from emacs-21.2-fullbin-i386.tar.

I even downloaded the emacs-21.2.tar.gz and unzipped that and it
didn't have it either.

I then checked the cvshome site and they have html versions, but
no info or source.

So, then it dawned on me that the cygwin distribution has a
boatload of info files, and there, I found the cvs.info
distribution.
