MSVC folks will be very disappointed if they grab an apache or httpd tarball without changing linefeeds to cr/lf pairs in all text files. That applies to .tar.gz/.tar.Z distributions.
You are best grabbing the latest beta (http://www.apache.org/httpd/dist) or alpha (http://dev.apache.org/dist) as a .zip file. The .zip versions we create are the same image, with cr/lf line endings, and include .mak files for MSVC 5.0 users to build from the command line, that aren't kept around in cvs. CVS is an option as well, but only the native Win32 version. If you use the cygwin port, you will end up with unix text files (not cr/lf endings) so you would need to convert all the files anyways. The Win32 port of CVS is available from http://ftp.cvshome.org/win32/cvs1-11-1p1.zip and instructions for anonymous cvs access are at http://dev.apache.org/ but be warned, that won't compile all the time on win32 (although its buildable much more often than not, lately :) Best of luck.
