Included with WinDBG’s debugging tools is an sdk that has some scripts to use for making a Source Server.
From what I have gathered so far, I needed to configure the srcsrv.ini file to point to my CVS repository – check, i pointed it to MYSERVER=:pserver:anonymous@cvs-mirror.mozilla.org:/cvsroot
Then I ran ssindex.cmd –server=cvs –source=c:source –symbols=c:outputdir with the appropriate locations.
First error:ssindex.cmd [ERROR ] : A source control system must be specified using either the
"-SYSTEM=" option or by defining SRCSRV_SYSTEM in your environment.
Okay, so I realized that I should have been calling cvsindex.cmd NOT ssindex.cmd. Re-do the call…
Second error:ssindex.cmd [ERROR ] CVS: CVS_LABEL or CVS_DATE not defined. Can't continue.
Gotta love that “can’t continue”, how dramatic. I remembered reading about the Label and Date setting when looking at the documentation for cvsindex.cmd -?? and thanks to Dave for noticing that it says “OR” not “AND” – so I set the CVS_DATE to today’s date and go for third.

ssindex.cmd [STATUS] : Running... this will take some time...
And it did take time…but after all was said and done – nothing seems to be indexed. Minor success anyway, I learned how to run the indexing command.
Back to the drawing board.
Thanks to everyone on #seneca who reassured me that I wouldn’t break the CVS repository by messing around with this.
