I think the one problem you might find (and that I certainly ran into a few times) is the problem of end-of-lines in files needing to be unix rather than dos. With the wincvs port of cvs, this involved checking out files using the --lf option. If you unpack tarballs with winzip, I think there's an option to "preserve end of line encoding" or something similar. Other than that, none of the steps you went through seemed unreasonable ;).
