Right, cvs doesn't support a port settings, as it it just uses ssh. And
ssh respects the .config, so it will use port 1111 when connecting to
host 'cvs', whether this is being done directly with the ssh command, or
by using CVS. My SSH server also runs on a non-standart port, but CVS
works fine for me. Although I can reach the server directly, without the
need to create a tunnel first.
