AFAIK the CVSGUI protocol is not cvsnt specific so can't be patched in that
way, but you'd have to ask on cvsgui-dev about that - I don't touch the
CVSGUI bits.

2.2.x won't support Win95 anyway, so that isn't an issue (btw. the log file
can already be passed from a file - don't pass it on the command line,
since it can be very big).
