Hrm.  That "cvsnt_exe_path" is set to a non-empty value means that
"rcs_path" is ignored.  Though, if "rcs_path" was *not* ignored, I don't see
how it would work anyway.  (Is IIS somehow smart enough to invoke ViewVC
"under Cygwin"?)

But more troublesome to me is the fact that you aren't at least seeing your
top-level CVS repository directories.  If I'm not mistaken, ViewVC is going
to be looking for a file at the path "D:\cvsrepo\it\CVSROOT\config".  Does
that path exist?  Is "D:\cvsrepo\it" a CVS repository, or is it a module
inside the CVS repository located at "D:\cvsrepo" ?
