Hi Bram,

Thanks for your response.

Seems like it ought to fix it, but it doesn't.  It results in the same 
error.  I also tried transposing " and ' in the relevant lines with no 
change in behavior.

So, I've temporarily worked around the problem by installing a fresh aap 
into C:\Programs\aap\Exec, which can now find cvs.exe.  However, I think 
I'm running into another weird Windows issue:

Aap: 6 - Using dependency "build : ../src/Numerical"
Aap: 7 - updating target "..\src\Numerical"
Aap: CVS checkout for node "..\src\Numerical"
Aap: "C:\Programs\aap\Exec\bin\cvs.EXE" 
-d:pserver:[email protected]
:/cvsroot/numpy checkout "Numerical"
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
Aap: 7 - Do not know how to build "..\src\Numerical"
Aap: 7 - updating target "src\Numerical"
Aap: 7 - Do not know how to build "src\Numerical"
Aap: Do not know how to build "..\src\Numerical"

When I run the exact command AAP claims to be running, the checkout 
works fine, including the double quotes on the command and module name.

Is there a way to get AAP to actually tell me what it is running, or is 
there something in Python outside of AAP that is escaping/quoting or 
otherwise mangling the command that AAP has no control over?

Thanks for any tips anyone can provide.
