Firstly, you can change the destination directory. But since installing the
source tree isn't what you want anyway, you could cheat - get the
ecosconfig.exe tool from http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/anoncvs.html under
the bit about updated host tools.

Nope.

Make sure you use the "Linux" version of the tree, i.e. without CRLF
endings. Otherwise you may get problems on Linux with CRs at the end of
lines such as preprocessor continuation chars, e.g.

#if defined(foo) || \
    defined(bar)
