That file is found in the 'pc' package.

CVS support is separate from VC. Grab the pcl-cvs package. VC is for
working with RCS files. However, without a shell to exec with, it
will be useless too. I'm not sure, but doesn't that pretty much
require cygwin? Not to mention a cvs binary... Is there such a beast
for windows? I know of the cvs server client and the java client, but
how about a commandline version?
