[h-e-w] NTEmacs, CVS, ssh, and bash

[Phillip Lord]

Dear all


I've just started using NTEmacs again. I've just got a new laptop and
decided to try using windows again, having been on a linux system for
ages. 


I'm using cygwin as my internal shell. I'm quite happy to use unix
terminators. I'm an enormous fan of pcl-cvs, and VC in general. My
question is, which is the best way to get pcl-cvs and ssh working
together? Do I use putty/plink/pagent and win32 native CVS. Or cygwin
ssh/cvs/ssh-agent/keychain?

Currently I'm trying the latter. I've tried setting CVS_RSH in my
shell. This seem to not be read in an non interactive shell (M-x
shell-command shows CVS_RSH is not set). I've set it in .bashrc, and
symlinked in .bash_profile, and .bash_login. 

Experiences would be welcome. 

Thanks

Phil
