Why dou you ask ? If a non Cygwin application stopped working
because it does the wrong thing to locate a DLL, I really doubt
a Cygwin developer will care. I guess it's like if I use the
Cygwin Perl instead of Active Perl. I'm on my own if something
breaks outside Cygwin.

What about asking them to not scan any Cygwin mounts or ignore
the Cygwin DLLs ?
The site is pretty clear:
* WinCvs compiled for Windows 98, Windows NT/2000 (Optionally
you may want to install TCL8.1 or higher in order to get the
macros working, see the TCL home page).
The TCL link points to http://dev.scriptics.com/ , not Cygwin.
