There certainly is something to be said about having a native windows
client.

The trend to Cygwin and MinGW for WGet is pretty depressing given the
past history of wget.

Subject: [Bug-wget] remove windows subdirectory

Hi,

I would like to drop completely the windows/ subdirectory.  The build
under Windows can be done easily with Cygwin or MinGW in the "GNU way":
./configure && make.

My feeling is that the Makefile's present under windows/ need more
effort to be kept updated, than the real benefits we can get from them.


Is anybody _really_ using these files?  Any real benefit to use them
instead of "./configure && make"?

Cheers,
Giuseppe
