	Yeah, I have depreciated the gaf cygwin port and instead I am
working on a mingw32 port.  I spent a huge chunk of my time last week and
got a prototype working (almost everything works).  It has taken me a lot
long then I expected because I had to resolve a whole bunch of issues
which were not important in the cygwin port (like / vs \).  Now I'm just
going through and doing the real port (ie clean not hacked code changes).
I hope to have something out which Gus will be able to package by the
end of this weekend (assuming I don't find any show stoppers).
