ViewVC under IIS as CGI should be fine.  I say "should" because I've never
tested it myself -- I simply have to trust that the work others have done to
make this work remains in good shape.

Setting up ViewVC to use svnauthz is done like so:

1.  Configure your HTTP server to require authentication in whatever way is
correct for that server.  For Apache, you'd probably use a <Location> block
and some directives like "Require valid-user" and "AuthType basic" or
something.  I don't know the IIS way to do this.

2.  Configure ViewVC to use the svnauthz authorizer.  This is as simple as
setting "authorizer = svnauthz" in viewvc.conf (under the [options] section).

3.  Configure the svnauthz authorizer with a path to an authz rules file.
This is done in viewvc.conf again, in the [authz-svnauthz] section, by
setting "authzfile = <<the path to your authz rules file>>".  Keep in mind
when composing your authz rules file that ViewVC will expect it to refer to
repositories by the same names that ViewVC does.
