Install CVS Server on WinXP

So I have both Eclipse PDT and Java installed. Now I wanted to try out the CVS integration with these IDEs. CVS is a version control system, an important component of Source Configuration Management (SCM). Using it, you can record the history of sources files, and documents. 


Simply put its a source code repository for version tracking. 


So its really handy in team environments.


Searching Google only revealed a few results. Most of them are focused on installing CVS on Linux or Unix servers. But here's a good tutorial on installing on your local development machine running on Windows XP.
