WinCVS

Anyone knows if Labview has a plan to interface with WinCVS in the SCC? Or somebody out there is working on it?

WinCVS is the graphical front end to CVS. What you really want is
connecting to the CVS client backend which is also used by WinCVS. The
problem about this is that that backend does not have a DLL API but is
in fact rather a command line tool. You will have to convert the LabVIEW
parameters to a command line for the CVS client and parse the stdout
output of that CVS client for return parameters. Not exactly the
standard way one is used under Windows. I haven't really spend much time
about looking further into this as I don't like the command line
interface approach very much.
