Thanks -- but surely the cvs command line client is included -- I didn't
install anything but what is listed in the documentation, and I used the
'cvs' command line client to download gnustep.  I don't know which of the
3 packages provided it, but it was there.  I'll check later tonight.

Thanks -- ... there might be some confusion ? ;-) ... we are talking of
the msys developer toolkit (ie, additional developer tools), not of msys
(the base development environment).

Anyway.  Which issues ?  Which path handling ? :-)

Let's fix them if we have any.

Thanks
