Body:
Windows is not Unix, and batch files cannot always be executed when exe files are
expected. Also, some programs seem to use the PATH variable to search for their
libraries. So, without real symbolic links, it seems better to not use the PATH for
every helper application. I'd prefer, if the environment variable would only be
modified temporarily (just for calling cvs from the plugin). However, it seems not
possible to change the binary for ant:cvs. If this should be necessary, the only
chance to get around would be to use the exec task.

Key: MPSCM-26
Summary: Provide property for cvs binary
Type: Improvement
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Original Estimate: Unknown
Time Spent: Unknown
Remaining: Unknown

Description:
Please provide a property to set the cvs binary to be used: My PATH environment
variable contains nearly about 700 characters (more than 8 lines in the cmd window),
so I'd prefer not to add a path element for every helper application. I suggest to
temporarily add the path-to-cvs-binary during evaluation of the jelly script only if
the property is set.
