Thanks for clarifying, Bill!  While MSYS will always be our primary
Windows port, as it is judged a superior Windows development
environment in several respects by our gcl developer in the know, we
would of course appreciate in addition someone undertaking a cygwin
effort, simply because as far as I can tell it appears to be quite
popular with users.  If anyone knows of an interested party, please
keep me informed.

Take care,
