The latest version of cvsnt (and WinCVS which uses it) supports ssh as a 
protocol directly, so in addition to the instructions there, you can use:

cvs -z3 -d:ssh:address@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs

Read nt/INSTALL carefully, especially the bit about line-ends in the nt 
subdirectory.

The first time you build from CVS, you will need to do "make bootstrap" 
from the nt subdirectory. After that, you should get away with "make 
recompile" in the lisp directory, and a normal "make", but if there are 
problems with the "make recompile", or you get strange lisp errors when 
running Emacs, it is a good idea to do a "make bootstrap" again before 
deciding there is a bug.
